Out & About: Grant’s Farm Food Trucks
Kicking off summer celebrations is Memorial Day which falls on Monday, May 29. Memorial Day is a great time to celebrate, while also remembering those who have served our country.
The St. Louis area has a plethora of music festivals, events and fun during Memorial Day weekend, as well as parades in honor of our veterans.
One of the most popular events hosted in the St. Louis is the Grant’s Farm Food Trucks.
While most people go to Grant’s farm to see the animals, shows and other exhibits, on the Friday before Memorial Day, the farm will stay open late to host a variety of food trucks serving local foods. The food ranges from entrees to snacks to desserts and will be served in the Tiergarten.
Grant’s Farm will also be hosting live music and a carousel to complete the celebration.
So, if you’re lacking something to do the weekend before Memorial Day, check out Grant’s Farm off of Gravois Road for food, music and festivities!
