Detroit could break world record for most food trucks at upcoming festival
A mob of food trucks will descend on Detroit this month for what is shaping up to be a Guinness World Record-breaking event.
More than 120 food trucks from Detroit and beyond are expected at River Days, which takes place June 21-23 at West Riverfront Park, thanks to the festival’s partnership with the World’s Largest Food Truck Rally.
The Detroit Riverfront Conservancy-hosted event, which runs from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. each day, is expected to draw a crowd of thousands to feast on everything from barbecue and burgers to empanadas and ice cream.
The trucks will arrive from places across the country, including Florida, Kentucky, Indiana and Ohio.
The number of food trucks, which is subject to change, will rival the Guinness World Record of 120 food trucks, which gathered in March 2014 at the Florida State Fairgrounds in Tampa during a two-day food truck rally.
River Days also features four stages of live music, a zip line, games and other entertainment. It's the first year in its new location, moving from the River Walk.
