Tampa's first Food Truck Rally was a great success. But Tampa's second Food Truck Rally should blow the first one out of the water.
I'm proud to have helped put on the first rally, and I'm excited that there was so much interest that we'll be making it a monthly event. We had around 5,000 people show up, and there were a number of folks on top of that who said they saw how large the crowd was and turned away. Between the Saturday evening after the rally and the following Monday afternoon I had literally hundreds of emails from people that either had trucks, were building trucks, wanted to build trucks, or just wanted to participate in future rallies somehow. Tampa, I knew you had it in you — Orlando and Miami will soon be envious of our food truck scene!
I'm also happy to announce that the Tampa Food Truck Rally #2 will be held on Saturday October 22nd, from 11 a.m.-3 p.m. in Seminole Heights at Christ Fellowship of Tampa (300 E. Sligh Ave). There will be 25 trucks or more in attendance, as well as much more space, and much cooler weather this go-round.
Tim and Michelle of Bites in the Heights are helping put the rally on, as it is their church that will be holding the event, and we're sure it'll be a rockin' good time.
