The City of Martinsville is accepting applications for its August 10 Food Truck Pull-Up that will be held on Main Street from 2-7 p.m.
Public Information Officer (POI) Kendall Davis said the city is partnering with Heads of State Entertainment to also hold a cruise-in.
“They do a lot of car shows and festivals in the area,” he said.
So far, Davis said the city has received over 20 applications from food truck vendors. There is currently no set application deadline.
“We are also reaching out to individual food trucks that we are targeting. We’re looking to have 25 to 30 food trucks, but we’re not just going to accept every food truck that comes in because we want to have a variety of different options,” he said.
Davis said there will also be business vendors and brick and mortar stores out on the street selling their wares.
“We will be having a ‘Kid’s Row.’ Walnut Street will be devoted to kids, so we’re talking about balloons, kids’ musical acts we’re trying to book right now,” he said.
Davis said the city expects this to be one of the biggest events in the Martinsville-Henry County area this year.
“We’re excited to bring it back. There was one in 2019 that wasn’t organized by the city, but it was a hit. From what we’ve heard from people since we announced, they missed that event. There’s just a lot of excitement about bringing this back,” he said.
He added other announcements will potentially come, and asked people to stay up to date.
