SB Third Thursdays Food Fest

One thing that brings people out is FOOD and what better way to do that than with food trucks! Located in the San Bernardino City Hall parking lot every third Thursday of the month from 11am to 2pm, the food fest is one of the best ideas to come to come out of the city! The event has brought an air of revitalization to the community to not only residents and patrons of the city, but also to local businesses.
I try to come out every month because you never know what hidden food treasure you’re going to find. You can always find something to satisfy your food cravings from a variety of specialty food trucks. Sometimes the lines can get long so get there early especially if you’re interested in a popular truck. You can go on their Facebook page for current updates and truck lineups. Most, if not all, vendors accept credit and debit cards so you don’t have to worry about not carrying cash. Some even have the ability to take online orders from their websites.
And let’s not forget about the entertainment! A local radio station (103.9 FM) often comes out with chances to play games and win prizes and you can also hear music played by local school bands and musical groups showcasing their talents.
I recommend this event to anyone as a great way to get out of the monotony of your typical lunch break and meet some new people.

I look forward to third Thursday every month! I’ve never missed one since they started it. I love the variety, I’ve tried great burgers, hot dogs, grilled cheese, hot wings, cupcakes and bacon brownies! Every time I try something different and they never disappoint.

As the title of this monthly event indicates, it takes place on the third Thursday of each month. This event has been around for a year already, and seems to be growing each month.
At each event, there are around six to eight food trucks selling all the things you’ve come to expect from the modern day «roach coach»: pizza, specialty grilled cheese, lobster rolls, cupcakes, burgers, etc.
The event is completely free to attend (a total plus) and since it only takes place during lunch hours (11:00 a.m. — 2:00 p.m.) it isn’t overly crowded (though the line for the Lobster Truck was ridiculous by 11:30 a.m.).
On the perimeter, there are vendors of knick knacks and other products (pampered chef, scentsy, etc.). There is also live music and, occasionally, a radio station will stop by to raffle off prizes or give away stickers and such.
