This monthly event, spearheaded by the Opelika Chamber of Commerce, has become a cornerstone for the downtown community. As Ali Rauch, President and CEO of the Chamber, explains, "Food Truck Friday is all about bringing people together. We envisioned a space where residents could explore the diverse culinary scene Opelika offers, while supporting local businesses and fostering a sense of community."
The event kicks off at 5 pm, transforming North Railroad and First Avenues into a delightful open-air market. Up to 20 food trucks will tantalize your taste buds with a symphony of flavors.
Rauch emphasizes the unique appeal of food trucks: "They offer a chance to delve into exciting new culinary creations that complement, rather than compete with, our established restaurants. From mouthwatering BBQ to delectable tacos and refreshing milkshakes, there's truly something to satisfy every craving."
Food Truck Friday isn't just a feast for the palate; it's a feast for the senses. Live music from a featured band will fill the air, while other downtown establishments chime in with their own sonic offerings. Feeling nostalgic? Get your game on at Rock and Roll Pinball, or challenge your friends at Off the Rail Gaming.
Of course, you can't forget the heart of Opelika's downtown - its vibrant restaurants, breweries, pubs, and shops. This is your chance to explore hidden gems, indulge in a post-dinner drink, or browse for unique souvenirs.
Calling all aspiring food truck owners! The Opelika Chamber of Commerce welcomes new vendors. Register through their channels and become part of this thriving community event.
So, gather your friends and family, grab your appetite, and head down to Opelika's Food Truck Friday. It's a night for delicious discoveries, toe-tapping tunes, and celebrating the spirit of community!
