This weekend’s Food Truck Frenzy will bring a variety of flavors to the Cherry Blossom Festival, with savory and sweet dishes being offered from 11 trucks.

“We have about the same number of trucks as last year, but they are bringing more food in anticipation of the crowds,” said Collin Holder, director of events and merchandising for the festival. “People in larger cities see food trucks more regularly than we do here, and people just enjoy them.”

Some of the trucks coming are Nana G’s Chicken & Waffles, the Muenster Truck, Flatbread Bistro, Brooke Lynn’s Own Sticks and Cones, Mac the Cheese Truck, the Pup Truck and Repicci’s Real Italian Ice and Gelato.

Ernest Rogers will be entertaining foodies with live music, and beer also will be sold on-site, Holder said.

“We have things from all over: mac and cheese, seafood, Indian food, tacos, ice cream; there’s truly something for everyone,” he said.
