Hey Neighbor… The food trucks take over. The Fredericksburg Food Truck Festival hits the fairgrounds Sunday with five hours of every truck you've been chasing all year in one place, plus a toy con, an 800 block party, a 12-hour pickleball marathon, and emo karaoke at Strangeways.
There's a spring sidewalk sale, bourbon trail social, Eats Burgers' 4th anniversary, puppy yoga, card shows at two different venues, and at least three live music acts playing everything from salsa to indie rock.
Let's map it out.
