Food trucks are taking over Welland’s Market Square Wednesdays until Thanksgiving with a supper market that includes a movie, says Rob Axiak, the city’s director of community services.
Axiak said the food trucks include Bacon Crazy, Smoke and Moonshine, The Runaway Greek, 905 Hotdog Pound, and Cool Licks Ice Cream and food truck.
It will run from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. every Wednesday, weather permitting, with seating available on-site.
A release from the city said people have the option to pick up food or stick around and enjoy the atmosphere.
“Bringing local food trucks to Market Square is just one more opportunity for the community to get out and enjoy what the city has to offer,” said Axiak in the release.
He said the city is doing a bit of a test run into the fall this year, with the plan to be open every Wednesday starting Victoria Day weekend next May.
“The movie at the market is an ideal location for such an event, and, when considering dinner and movie, what better place to bring the family.”
The movie portion of the event begins at dusk, approximately 7 p.m., during the supper market.
Previously, the city hosted movie nights at Civic Square on the outdoor LED screen but will now host movies at the market on an inflatable screen.
The release said the screen offers greater access and ease of viewing. In addition, Shriner’s Creek kettle popcorn will be handed out to kids to enjoy with the movie.
Market Square is at 70 Young St., and parking is free.
