Food Truck Thursdays are Back at Forest Plaza
Forest Plaza
How blessed were we, when the pandemic started, to have a place we could go to get food made by someone else. My kids were ready to eat something that didn t come from our kitchen, or a fast food drive-thru. I m so glad that this event has returned.
The giant snow mountains have melted and the food trucks are ready to take their place, in the parking lot of Forest Plaza at 6125 E. State Street in Rockford.
From 3:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m., EVERY Thursday, dine on some of the tastiest food made in the area.
