Food & Drink
Purchase food directly from food trucks and drinks from a bar. Here’s a list of food trucks and when they will be at the event.
Kids Market
A market run entirely by kids ages 5 to 17 will be on Sunday from noon to 5 p.m. This is your chance to shop from young entrepreneurs.
The Food Truck Carnival hours are Friday from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m., Saturday, from noon to 9 p.m. and Sunday from noon to 5 p.m.
There is construction around the site, so parking is very limited. Community Center Drive will be closed during event hours for public safety.
The easiest and BEST parking is at the Wagon Road RTD Parking Lot at 120th & Huron (physical address: 600 W 120th Ave, Westminster, CO 80234) and then use the pedestrian underpass to get to the event.
