Visitation Church Monthly Food Truck Event

My GF and I stumbled upon this great event and have been making the hour and a half drive ever since. Plenty of seating, and there’s music, activities for youngsters, drinks for adults, but best of all hardly any lines at the food trucks.

Love this event! Lots of trucks! The only thing is that their website post a lot more trucks than what is actually there! It’s a little disappointing.

I checked this place out on a whim, and I’m glad I did. Because I follow Waffles De Liege, I came here to visit. This monthly food truck festival totally rocks. It’s much better than 1^st Fridays in Westchester. Reasons are:
*Cooler band! The band is actually good and appeals to everyone.
*Variety of food trucks! A lot of the most popular and tastier food trucks come. They’re parked in a semi-​circle for ease of viewing.
*Cocktails! Yes although it’s a church/​school, you could grab a cocktail on premises.
*Fundraiser! Volunteers for the school also sale baked goods, cold sodas, and hot drinks… all for cheap.
*Kid Friendly! There’s tattoo airbrushing, a playground, hula hoops, and other things for the kids to stay busy and entertained.
*Plenty of Seating!
*Free! Some food truck festivals have the nerve to charge. This one is all free, 5 – 10 pm.
This is will be a definitely must go for me. I really enjoyed the festival. Kudos to Visitation for putting on a good event for the community.

Lots and lots of trucks as well as a bar, dessert table and activities for the kids. Love how the trucks park in a circle as it for some reason makes for a less crowded feel. My only complaint is that they don’t allow trucks to sell desserts and the same trucks are there repeatedly… would love to try some new ones. Very family friendly and easy parking.

Park about a block away. Great variety and 20 trucks change often. There’s a bar in the back for adults — offer wine, beer, margarita for $ 5. Wish they do this once a month. Also usually have a good local cover band, and great for family.

The Visitation Church has a monthly Food Truck Night that ROCKS! It’s a big highlight of the neighborhood, because there are about 15 trucks, tons of seats, home-​made goodies, drinks, ALCOHOL, and movies for the kiddos! This event is run like a well-​oiled machine!
I especially like the fact that this church knows how to connect to the community and bring people closer together. The two biggest problems with food trucks is that 1) there is no space and nowhere to sit, and 2) the lines are too long and people get frustrated. NOT HERE!
There are about 15 trucks (Hot dogs, hamburgers, sushi, salads, grilled sandwiches, Cuban sandwiches) spread across and entire parking lot plus a couple of basketball courts! Nice layout and spacious. I also like the fact that they have about 15 – 20 large tables (each sits about 8 – 10) for people to sit at and enjoy their meal.
There are tons of kids of all ages (1 years old to 80+ year olds) running around and having a SAFE time! Great diversity of foods, great home-​made desserts, great drinks, etc. One of the things that is most popular is that they use the church dining hall to show movies for the kids. It’s safe enough that parents can leave their kids in the movie and eat a nice relaxing dinner with their friends outside. The entire area is fenced in and everyone seems to be watching out for each other. THAT is community!
Nice job, Visitation Church! You have brought community back to the Westchester neighborhood area and we are blessed! Thanks!
