The Yellow Cab Tavern is celebrating its 10th season of Yellow Cab Food Truck Rallies once a month through October. This long standing community event is not only bringing back all of the food trucks and the festival environment that it’s been known for but also reinventing itself by transforming each event into a specialty food fest to celebrate its 10th year.
“I think it’s safe to say that the summer weather is here to stay,” said Event Organizer Brian Johnson, “and our Food Truck Rallies are the perfect way to enjoy the warming temperatures with family and friends. It’s great seeing adults, kids, and even dogs soaking up the sun and enjoying some truly delicious food trucks. It’s all about community and bringing people together over food and drinks, supporting local trucks, and celebrating our city.”
Each food truck rally in 2023 will feature a different theme. This month’s theme is “Hot Dog Fest” and features an amazing group of trucks offering hot dogs, sausages and themed dishes. The line-up including The Pizza Bandit, Blind Dogs, Briella’s Hot Dogs, I Heart Ice Cream, Claybourne Grill, Any Style Hot Dog, Home Cooked Vibes, Cruisin Cuisine, Slide Thru, Cray Cray Cajun, Chicago Gyro and Dogs, The Forking Pierogi, Macarons Galore, and Diamond Daiquiri’s.
Food trucks and mobile vending businesses often operate as a proof of concept for many small and micro business owners as they build and grow their audience and offerings in a less risky setup.
“Our themed rallies give each of the attending food trucks an opportunity to try something new and step out of their comfort zones,” Johnson said. “It’s been really interesting to see what each truck comes up with and Hot Dog Fest gives everyone another chance to get creative. We can’t wait to see their menus!”
Yellow Cab Food Truck Rallies are held at The Yellow Cab Tavern, 700 E Fourth St. in Dayton. Hot Dog Fest 2023 will be held on Friday, June 16th from 5 to 9pm. All ages are welcome and the event is free to attend. Food trucks are subject to change.
The Yellow Cab Food Truck Rallies are sponsored by Dayton Real Estate Crush – Home Experts Realty, Party Wizard, CODE Credit Union, and WYSO Public Radio.
