Foodies Unite! Crocker Park’s Food Truck Challenge Is Back! Attendees & Celebrity Judges Will Taste Test in Several Categories From 11am-4pm
Calling all food lovers, Crocker Park will host their eighth annual Food Truck Challenge sponsored by Serpentini of Westlake on Saturday, October 7 from 11am-4pm. Cleveland’s finest food trucks are set to gather along Crocker Park’s Main Street, vying for the chance to win in various “best of…” categories, as determined by a panel of judges and guests. This year’s event promises an even grander experience, with an incredible lineup of trucks, an esteemed panel of celebrity judges, and an abundance of fun-filled activities for all to enjoy.
This fun and competitive event hosts an impressive list of food trucks all offering special and unique menu options beginning at 11am. During the event, visitors will have the opportunity to participate by picking up a ballot at the designated voting station, trying as many food truck menu items as they would like, and submitting a ballot before 3pm (one per person).
Categories Include: People’s Choice Award, Judge’s Pick, Best Vegetarian, Most Unique, Best in a Dish , Best Sandwich/Wrap, Best Side/Snack, Best Sip, and Sweetest Treat.
“Cleveland is a foodie destination, and we can’t think of a better way to celebrate that than with the annual Food Truck Challenge with the support of our local car dealership Serpentini of Westlake,” said Stacie Schmidt, Vice President of Marketing and Communications at Stark Enterprises. “At Crocker Park, we take pride in fostering collaboration between our local food trucks and the community, creating a platform that not only supports these small businesses but also promotes healthy competition. It’s the ideal way to sustain our local economy and show our unwavering support for small businesses within our vibrant community!”
The Food Truck Challenge sponsored by Serpentini of Westlake is free to the public and will also include live music from Billy Likes Soda, kid-friendly activities, and vendors. Winners will be crowned beginning at 3:15pm by a panel of guest judges and local foodies. For a complete list of participating trucks, visit crockerpark.com/foodtruckchallenge. Please note that all competitor spots are filled and there are no more spots for Food Truck Challenge.
