Street food and other mobile vendors have really grown in popularity in recent years. Once considered a somewhat questionable option, these days it seems like the coolest way to get your food on the go is from a restaurant on wheels!

I don't know how or why food trucks have become so popular these days but I, for one, am a big fan. It's a great way to try notable dishes from some of your favorite area restaurants without having to make the trek all the way across town.

Here's are several communities throughout West Michigan that plan to host food truck rallies this summer:

Fork in the Road - Allegan

Starting Monday, June 12 downtown Allegan will host weekly food truck rallies. Now in its second year, each week will feature a rotating line-up of some of the area's most popular food trucks. Expect to see Pigs Head BBQ, The Mobile Crave, Streetchefshaw, and more! This event takes place every Monday evening from 5:00-8:00 p.m. 

Food Truck Tuesdays - Holland

Every Tuesday night food trucks gather at the Midtown Center in Holland from 5:00-7:00 p.m. the City of Holland recently enacted new policies to allow more food trucks to operate downtown. Rotating food trucks will include Street Frites, Olly's Donuts, and Yo Place or Myne-- just to name a few.

Food Truck Fridays - Grand Rapids

Now in its 7th year, food trucks gather every Friday through September 1 at Grand Rapids' Riverside Park. The event goes from 4:00-9:00 p.m., but get there early because the lines fill up fast! There are beer tents, vendors, and 16-20 food trucks rotating weekly.
