The next event is this Thursday, January 19th from 6pm – 10pm.
Flicks and Food Trucks will be held every third Thursday of each month and is a community event for all local residents, families and business people from the Channel District and Downtown Tampa.
Fast Facts to keep in mind when planning your arrival:
Please plan to Park at the parking garage located at Grand Central at Kennedy. For Directions to Grand Central and for more information on additional parking please CLICK HERE or visit www.tampabaymarkets.com
Please plan to expect waiting in line for your orders. While the food is worth the wait, it does not come fast because it’s not “fast food”. These are full blown restaurants on wheels and food is made to order.
We, (Tampa Bay Markets) have no control over the speed at which the lines move. Food prep time determines the speed of the line your waiting in.
Plan to experience more than one food truck. Everyone serves something different so ordering small is key!
Consider it similar to tailgating: Most people stand and eat at Food Truck events. If you are one who likes to sit and eat, then stake out a spot on a curb or bring a chair!
Be sure to bring cash for your purchases! Vendors appreciate small bills v.s 10’s & 20’s. Some trucks do take Credit Cards, but many do not. There is an ATM on site through the courtyard area.
Highlights for this Thursday:
10-15 Gourmet Food Trucks serving everything from Burgers to Vegetarian Bites and Desserts.
10-15 minute Short Films provided by our partners- The Tampa Bay Arts and Education Network (TBAE) and the Independents’ Film Festival (IFF).
Live Music provided by the Sunset Bridge Band http://www.sunsetbridgeband.com Local Brew provided by Cigar City Brewing and the Pour House
Sunset Bridge Band is a local quartet with female vocalist Gracie Grieshop, Bassists AJ Topp, Guitarist and Banjo player Paul Needles, and Percussionist Rick Barclay. They play Alternative Country style music with a hint of Folk and Jazz.
Hope to see you all there this Thursday!
