President of Giving Local Brian Sullivan said their focus is to promote and support local businesses as a nonprofit, and one of their main ways of doing that before the pandemic was by putting on events and festivals.
After having to shut down for a full year, Sullivan said they're slowly easing back into things, in part with this food truck rally.
"Food trucks took a pretty big hit last year. And we wanted to give them an opportunity to have a place that they could come together with this food truck rally," said Sullivan. "It's going to be a lot of fun. We've got some trucks that are very looking forward to to seeing everyone."
