The second edition of 'Eats in the Streets,' a food festival, returns to downtown North Adams this Saturday, October 21, from noon to 4 p.m.
This time, more than 10 food trucks are participating, a significant increase from the three trucks at the first event in June. Event organizer Melissa Harris expressed her gratitude for the opportunity to run this event again due to its success in bringing the community together.
In addition to the food trucks, over 20 local crafters and artisans will be present, selling their goods. The previous event was a hit with vendors, some even selling out of food.
North Adams Village President Rick Beach highlighted the event's positive impact on the community and the village.
For this edition, new attractions include wagon rides and a fall-themed selfie tent, adding to the festive atmosphere.
Harris acknowledged the invaluable support of co-organizer Amanda Gorgon and the generous community sponsors who made the event possible.
Attendees can also join an old-time baseball game featuring The People of Hillsdale, welcoming players of all skill levels.
Reflecting on the success of the first event, Harris expressed her excitement and encouraged even more people to attend and enjoy the food trucks and fall-themed activities.
As the festival approaches, Harris is confident that this time, the food trucks will be well-prepared to serve a larger crowd.
