We at WindsorEats think food trucks are a pretty awesome thing, so we’re hosting an event dedicated to them!

From September 26-27, visit us at Assumption Park in the Odette Sculpture Garden for some good, mothertruckin’ eats! There will be plenty else to do before, during or after you’ve eaten your food. You can stroll through the sculpture garden and taken in the w.a.v.e.s. Festival taking place (the food truck rally is our contribution to this festival), sit and relax while enjoying the beautiful skyline along the riverfront, or you can even join us for our free Friday Night Lights bike ride on September 26 which will be making a stop at the Truckin’ Good Food Rally.

This event is in support of a food truck culture within the City of Windsor, so if you’d like to see more food trucks around please be sure to visit and show your support by eating!

The Truckin’ Good Food Rally will be a free event and open to all ages. Trucks will be ready to serve from 4:00pm to 11:00pm on Friday and Saturday from 11:00am until 11:00pm.

 

Friday Night Lights Free Bike Ride

Our free Friday Night Lights ride is scheduled for Friday, September 26, 2014, with riders meeting up at 8:30pm in front of the Walkerville Night Market. We will take guests out on the town to explore the night life in Windsor. The catch: since it’s a night ride you’ll need lights on your bike. The more lights the better!

All you’ll need is a simple bike light to make yourself seen at night. If you don’t have any lights for your bike, we’ll also have bikes available for rent with special lighting to light up the night with designs and colours to make every passerby turn and see.

Starting point will be at the Walkerville Night Market. We encourage everyone to get there early and do some grocery shopping prior to the ride. All purchases can be stored at the market until we return.

We’ll be making stops at the WindsorEats’ Truckin’ Good Food Rally and The Squirrel Cage.

To support local businesses, we’ll be making two stops along the route for those who want to purchase beverages or a bite to eat.
