Get ready for a throw-down of the area’s tastiest restaurants on 4-wheels as they battle it out for YOUR VOTE!

Join us at Oak Street Mill, 19725 Oak Street, on Saturday, June 17 from 12:-00 pm – 8:00 pm as 15 of Charlotte’s best food trucks look to become crowned “Champions of Old Town”.

A local “celebrity” guest panel of judges will decide on the winner of the coveted Critic’s Choice Award! Hand-made trophies by Edie Lee Art will be presented to the winning trucks!

3. Purchase any meal or side that catches your eye from as many trucks as you’d like. They all take CASH or CARD.
