You may have heard there's a heat wave coming... what better way to beat that heat than with a river breeze? Tonight is the third Food Truck Friday coming at you from our friends at the Greater Ossining Chamber of Commerce-- we will be joined by Westchester Burger Company, Eat My Balls Food Truck, Aji Limo Peruvian Cuisine (that passion fruit and basil refresher will come in handy tonight), Cravin Jamaican Cuisine, Sing Sing Kill Brewery, and FTF newcomer The Blue Pig Ice Cream (happy to have them anytime, but especially in this kind of weather!) Make sure to bring some cash if you plan to check out the trucks, as some of them are unable to take credit cards.
While the trucks line up at 5PM, make sure to get a good spot and plan to settle in for the night. Ossining's own KJ Denhert will be taking the Louis Engel Park stage at 7PM. She is one of our favorites and we can't wait to see you down at the Park tonight for some storytelling, snacks, and an awesome sunset.
