Alpharetta's Food Truck Alley Returns Thursday
Alpharetta’s famous Food Truck Alley returns Thursday to Downtown Alpharetta from 5-9 pm. The unique event provides an amazing culinary experience one would only find in Downtown Atlanta, but without the stress and cost of travel. Located conveniently on Old Roswell St. in Downtown Alpharetta, the Food Truck Alley has something for the whole family, pets included!
On Thursday, a rotation of six to eight of Atlanta’s best food trucks will roll into Downtown Alpharetta and set up shop behind Smokejack. Old Roswell St. will be closed off to vehicles, providing ample space for walking and dining on the street. While the food trucks are the highlight of this event, there will also be live music and spirits available to those of appropriate age. If the idea of food on the go doesn’t suit you, this event still has plenty to offer. Local shops and vendors in the area including Sis and Moon’s and South Harmony will be open to shoppers, along with new live music every week. With so much to choose from, there is no better way to start off the weekend!
Past food trucks include nationally ranked Happy Belly, Curbside Kitchen, and Yumbii. Food styles range from Southern comfort food, Vietnamese, Italian, and Mexican among many others. If you’re still hungry, stop by the dessert trucks and pick up something sweet!
