Food Truck Friday is back, and we’re kicking off the season in a big way! Join us Friday, April 10 in Central Park for a full day of great food, local vendors, live entertainment, and community fun.
From 11:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., enjoy a wide variety of food trucks serving up delicious eats, along with unique retail and nonprofit vendors throughout the park. Whether you’re stopping by for lunch, dinner, or the whole day, there’s something for everyone.
The evening heats up with live music by Ozark Storm from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m., paired with a Cruise‑In showcasing classic cars and cool rides for all ages to enjoy. Before the music begins, don’t miss a special performance at 5:30 p.m. by Ovation Studios’ Spirit Dance Teams, bringing high‑energy dance and local talent to the stage.
Bring your lawn chairs, bring your appetite, and bring your friends and family—Food Truck Friday is the perfect way to celebrate spring, support local businesses, and enjoy a fun‑filled day in the heart of our community.
