2022 FOOD TRUCK RALLY

How to sample food from 40 food trucks in 10.5 hours? That’s the problem we all face on Friday, Aug. 12 as the Food Truck Rally rolls into The Square @ Union Centre.

The Union Centre Boulevard Merchant Association (UCBMA) annual event is a celebration of food, music and community. And it benefits local charities.

The 2022 Food Truck Rally is a free event with hours from 11:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. so guests can plan stops throughout the day – lunch, afternoon snack, dinner, evening snack – and enjoy local bands playing all day long.

UCBMA is a local non-profit that started back when the Union Centre Boulevard interchange was new. The group hosted the Union Centre Boulevard Bash, Blast and Food & Music Festival for years.

The group is made up of enthusiastic local merchants whose mission is to promote the Union Centre Central Business District, but they have also become very active in supporting local non-profits making grants totaling more than $20,000.

Bands for the festival had not yet been announced at the time of Community Report printing.

If you want to volunteer or sponsor the Food Truck Rally, or just stay updated about the event, check out the UCBMA Food Truck Rally page on Facebook.
