The Gardner Food Truck Festival is back for 2023 and plans are for it to be bigger and better than last year. Colin Smith, the Mayor’s Executive Aide is the “Prince of the Food Truck Festival” and has been working on the delightful menu of trucks who will come to the event in order to please people from all over the Greater Gardner area.

In his February 2023 Have a Heart Interview, Colin Smith stated, ” Our hope is to have most, if not all, of the vendors we had last year back….I think last year was great in terms of variety that we were able to offer in the total number of food trucks. So that’s something I would like to replicate in a lot of respects again. I mean, I think I said it last year, but bigger, bigger, and better….”
