Reno Food Truck Fridays Back for 2nd Season

We are very pleased to bring back Reno Food Truck Fridays for the 2013 season. Reno's first and only all food truck event is held the 1st and 3rd Friday of the month, April - October at Citicenter downtown from 5-9 pm. Please join us for an evening of delicious food, music and fun!

Food Trucks have been a growing trend over the last few years here in the Reno area and there is no doubt they are here to stay. Everyday a growing number of mobile delicacies can be found around town, posting their locations on social media much to the delight of folks nearby. There are many different food truck options available from burgers to tacos, ribs to grits, shave ice to homemade ice cream sandwiches. We are proud to promote these small business owners and showcase their culinary creations.

Alongside area food trucks, we are excited to present local musicians at each event. Bring your dancing shoes and prepare to groove to local talent in the center of Citicenter. Once again, Great Basin Brewing Co. will host the beer garden. Reno's own Tumblebus, a full-sized school bus is converted into a safe and fun gymnasium, will be on site for the kids to expend some energy. The event is fun for all and a great way to support small business and get to know the best food trucks in Reno!


10 Tips for #RFTF.

1. Be early: The early bird gets the rice plate. Don't be let down by showing up too late.

2. Don't be afraid to try something new. There are a lot of new trucks this season, support new businesses!

3. Divide and conquer: Hit up a few different trucks with friends, then share the goodies.

4. Prepare for the weather. Reno is known for rapidly changing temperatures, our event starts in Spring and ends in Fall, a jacket might be nice for the cooler months.

5. Utilize Reno's many downtown parking garages and street parking.

6. Make a night of it: Enjoy the community atmosphere while waiting in line, enjoying a beer and listening to music.

7. Bring I.D. if you would like to enjoy an adult beverage. Please remember that open containers are not allowed beyond the event parameters.

8. Tell your friends: The Twitter hashtag is #RFTF,  @FoodTrucksReno, share the Facebook page www.facebook.com/RenoFoodTruckFridays. Spread the word that Reno Food Truck Fridays is the 1st and 3rd Friday, April- October.

9. Throw trash in the trash cans and keep our city clean. Clearly marked cans and bins will be all along the line, making it easy to keep the park as clean as it was when you arrived.

10. Most of all, have fun! This is an event where some of the city’s most driven (no pun intended) culinary minds come together. Explore and enjoy our city, the food, the music and each other!
