Funtown Chowdown Food Truck Festival
About this event
It’s time for the Funtown Chowdown, Frankenmuth’s Annual Food Truck Festival at Frankenmuth River Place Shops! The fun takes place in the parking lot east of the shopping complex on the second...
What to Expect
- 1.Arrive early to beat the rush at popular trucks; lines can get long after 4pm, so decide what you want ahead.
- 2.Bring cash and a reusable cup; many trucks take cards but some still rely on cash, and cash-only lines move fastest.
- 3.Explore beyond the big-name trucks and sample those tucked in the lineup—hidden gems are often worth the wait.
- 4.Bring a portable chair or blanket since seating in the parking lot is limited; plan a little picnic spot near the River Place Shops if you can.
- 5.Check the weather and dress for sun or rain; Michigan springs flip quickly, so layer up and bring sunscreen.
