Drawing on a tradition of mobile street vendors found in large east coast cities the late 1700s, the Bellevue Food Truck Roundup returns downtown on July 13 and Aug. 10, 4-8 p.m. at Ashwood Park, 10895 NE 12th St.
The picnic in the park will feature nearly a dozen food trucks and free entertainment.
Vendors include: Auntie Anne's (soft baked pretzels), ChopStix (Asian fusion), El Argento (Argentine style sandwiches), Ezell's Express (fried chicken), Falafel Salam (Middle Eastern food), Hot Revolution (mini donuts), Oro Food Truck (Gold Rush inspired historic American comfort food), Street Treats (ice cream, ice cream sandwiches), Thai-U-Up (Thai food), Tokyo Dog (Bavarian hot dogs with Japanese style toppings) and The Ultimate Melt (gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches).
Budapest West will take their electro-world groove to the stage 5:30-6:30 p.m. From 7-8 p.m., Seattle Kokon Taiko will perform taiko, a dynamic synthesis of rhythm, movement and spirit originating in Japan.
Sponsored by bellevue.com, Bellevue Parks & Community Services and the King County Library System, the all-ages event is free. Food prices range from $2 to $17. Free parking is available at the Bellevue Library.
