Hello Brandi,
Following up with you again because hot of the press…we’ve just published a full article about Frisco StrEATS which DOES include a full list of the food truck vendors. It’s currently featured on our home page, or you visit this link: https://lsfrisco.wpengine.com/frisco-streats-gourmet-food-truck-music-festival/
Hope you enjoy the event!
Nicole, Editor in Chief
Hi there Brandi! We agree with you! If we had known the list, we definitely would have published it. Please reach out directly to the President of the Downtown Merchants Association, Mark Piper, as he can definitely answer your question. president@downtownfrisco.org
Thank you for reaching out!
I am struggling to find anyone connected with Frisco Streats that can provide a list of food truck vendors. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
