Description
Food Truck Friday is an award-winning event of the Opelika Chamber. Hosted in downtown Opelika on various Friday nights throughout the year, the Opelika Chamber welcomes food trucks, live music, vendors, and thousands of visitors who dine, drink and enjoy the community atmosphere. The event starts at 5pm, with some trucks remaining until 10pm.
Trucks will be parked along N. Railroad Avenue and 1st Avenue.
Food Truck Friday is presented to our community by Afni and Sensigreen Heating & Air! Their sponsorships will enable us to continue to make this event possible. We also have music sponsors each quarter (Lambert Moving Systems, State Farm Insurance - Christie Hill & Eric McDade, Michael Bootz with Bootz Builders, & Stone Martin Builders), along with a dining area sponsor, Bonnie Plants, and trash sponsor, Piedmont Fertilizer Co. We also want to thank A Reprieve for Men, who assists with the set-up and clean-up of our dining area. We truly could not do this event without these partners!
