These days in Columbus, it’s not a question of ‘have you tried a food truck yet?’ it’s ‘which truck haven’t you tried?’ This weekend, you’ll be able to try over 50 food trucks or carts at Ohio Village inside of the Ohio Historical Center.

The Ohio Food Truck Festival will have a bike corral, so ride your bike and save on that parking fee! The Festival is free, but parking is $6 per car (unless you are a member of the Ohio Historical Society, then it is waived). Ohio Village is on the north end of the Ohio Historical Society campus, located at 800 E. 17th Avenue, Columbus, Ohio 43211. If you’d like to RSVP on Facebook, click here.

I am confused by the ‘resurgence’ part?
Thanks for the great write up!! As of now there is no bike corral but all around the site the Ohio Historical Center has plenty of placed to lock up your wheels! See you this weekend!
This one should be fun! The site is great (walked through earlier in the year for an event that we had to table) and there will be some newer food trucks in the mix for the weekend.
As for the resurgence…..a couple spins on that – maybe a resurgence of mobile food in general – it was big in the 1920′s and is definitely on the upswing here in CMH.
