FOOD TRUCK FRIDAY: Indian Wells kicks off Southwest Food Fest with local vendors
Attention all foodies!
Food truck Fridays have officially made their way to Indian Wells.
Southwest Food Fest kicks off Friday night, June 23, from 5p-9p. It's the first of many throughout this summer season, located at Southwest Church.
“This is an incredible way to showcase, you know, local and small businesses," said Palm Desert resident Raychelle Devilla.
It brings a weekly family friendly experience. The live music gave people a chance to dance or sit back and relax.
“I love the music because I love to be loud and get going in the groove," said Indio resident Caren Oliva. "I love to support the locals. That's what makes my heart happy and we love to come out and do that.”
Kids played games and took turns down the water slide to cool off in this summer heat.
“It’s fun! they're doing food truck Fridays, and we like food trucks and we like waterslides," said Palm Desert resident Nicole Gwin.
Local food trucks and vendors surrounded the lawn, with everything from barbecue brisket, to teppanyaki, to Vietnamese dumplings!
However, the good eats weren’t the only scents filling the air.
"Scented candles with soy, coconut, apricot and wax blends," Joy Potter described. "We have soaps, body butters, linen sprays, air fresheners.”
Potters is the owner of The Robynn Joy Company. Her pop up filled the air with lavender, lemon and gardenia.
As a small business owner, it means a lot to be a part of this community.
“It's wonderful to be a part of something bigger than myself. A community is a family. And that's what we've become, even the vendors here," Potter said.
