STREET FOOD RODEO! Westlake Plaza, Davis CA Here it is people! The foodie event of the season. Last September, the Rodeo was so popular that the trucks couldn’t keep up with the hungry crowd of about 2,000 people. Apparently, Davisites are crazy about fresh, affordable, innovative street food, so we’ve increased the number of trucks. Here are the top 10 reasons to go to the Street Food Rodeo:1. Ten food trucks 2. Live bluegrass music by the Bottom Dwellers 3. Drake’s Brewery Beer Garden 4. Kids fun zone 5. Free admission 6. How often do you eat your dinner sitting on a straw bale? 7. Free parking 8. High probability of spotting a cowboy 9. The weather forecast is calling for 80-degrees and clear 10. If you miss it, you’ll have to wait until Fall for the next Rodeo 5:00 pm – 9:00 pm |
