The trucks will sell their regular-sized items, but there will also be a $20 sampler package so attendees can try six sample-sized items from participating trucks. There will be areas for attendees to picnic.
The event is 11 a.m.-8 p.m. Aug. 11-12 on Sedgwick between Chicago Avenue and Locust Street. Entry will be a $5 donation.
