Big ‘Food Truck Fight’ Returns to One of Illinois’ Coolest Small Towns
This Illinois Food Truck Event helps answer the big, 'what do I most want in life' question. My answer is to eat and be entertained. Galena is a good place to start.
The Best Things in Life: Food & Entertainment
I'd like to attend an event where I'm entertained and you basically eat all day long. And not just me, my kids can have exactly what they want too, just as long as it's also to eat all day long and be entertained. If I was to ask my seven-year-old if she'd be interested in those two things, she'd be in the car telling me to "drive faster old man!"
If having a blast all day long and eating delicious food made from some of the Midwest's best food trucks sounds like a good day, wait until you see this.
The Food Truck Fight in Galena, Illinois
For the second year in a row, in one of America's coolest small towns to visit, it's the battle where the real winners are all who attend.
What is Food Truck Fight?
On Saturday, June 3, more than 20 food trucks will converge on Depot Park (91 Bouthillier St) in Galena for an entire day of eating starting at noon until 8:00 pm.
Not just eating, but live music too. This is an event for your entire family, so don't leave the kids at home. Throughout the day there will be bounce houses, face painting, making balloon animals, and other very kid-friendly activities (including eating).
