Rotary Club of Springfield Host Second Annual Food Truck Festival

After a highly successful inaugural community event amidst a pandemic, The Rotary Club of Springfield will be holding the second annual Springfield Food Truck Festival on Sunday, May 1, 2022. This year's event will be held at the Springfield Municipal Pool Parking Lot, 44 Morrison Avenue, from 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. The cost of admission is $5.00 per person, with children under the age of 5 admitted free.

More than 15 food trucks are anticipated to be in attendance, including Catlike Reflexes featuring sliders, cheesesteaks, and tornado potatoes; Angry Archies featuring lobster rolls and crab cakes; Arctic Dogs featuring hot dogs and shaved ice; and of course, one of the top attractions from last year, Magic Mike's Meats featuring BBQ. New this year will be Grand and Essex, a Glatt Kosher food truck. Also new this year is the addition of a Beer/ Sangria Garden. Proper ID will be required to purchase a separate bracelet to enter the Beer/Sangria Garden. All food trucks are provided by Main Street Fairs and are subject to change.

In addition to the food trucks, there will also be several craft vendors, including Krafting Treasures, Bee Leaf Apothecary, artist Jayne Mayfield and Rose Sparkle Plenty. This event benefits the Rotary Club of Springfield, the Springfield Recreation Department, and Jonathan Dayton High School Senior Scholarships.

"The inaugural Springfield Food Truck Festival far surpassed our expectations, with over 2,200 attendees throughout the day and the funds raised that benefited Rotary and the Jonathan Dayton High School PTSO," said Paula Kaiser, President, The Rotary Club of Springfield. "Thanks to the massive community support, especially during the challenges presented by COVID-19, we are excited to expand this year’s offerings with more and different vendors and a Beer/Sangria Garden. The continued support of this event allows Rotary to continue to give back to the community through increased scholarships to the Dayton Senior Class and to other endeavors organized by the Springfield Recreation Department."

Tickets for the event will be available for purchase beginning at 10:30 a.m. on Sunday, May 1.
