Food Truck Invasion at Arts Park in Hollywood
Arts Park in Young Circle is about as nice as a park can get……..with the addition of the Miami Food Trucks, it’s near perfect. Food Trucks at Arts Park will be hitting Hollywood every Monday night for dinner. You know the routine…Tell your friends, tell your family, bring your chairs, bring your blankets and of course bring your appetite! Thanks to the Arts Park at Young Circle and the Broward County Florida Cultural Division for making this happen.
Up to 20 different food trucks will be peddling their culinary creations that will satisfy any appetite. There will also be music and kids' activities. 5:30-9:30 p.m. Monday at Hollywood ArtsPark at Young Circle, Hollywood Boulevard and U.S. 1. 954-921-3500.
**My husband and I did this a couple weeks ago. Tip: go on an empty stomach and do a food crawl, get a little bit from each truck. Was a BLAST!**
