Make plans now, SBC. There’s a full weekend of flavor and fun at Mall St. Vincent coming in hot! The Foodees Food Truck Festival is rolling in, bringing a lineup of mouthwatering food trucks, local craft vendors, and that lively community atmosphere we all love.

Mall St. Vincent is truly becoming more than a shopping stop. With weekly pop-ups, local makers, seasonal events, and family-friendly gatherings, it’s turning into a hub for connection and creativity right here in the heart of town. These events give small businesses a chance to shine while giving us all a reason to get out and enjoy something new.

Whether you swing by Friday afternoon or make it a Saturday tradition, it’s the perfect excuse to support local, discover great food, and soak up a little weekend fun.

🕒 Foodees Food Truck Hours:
• Fri, March 13 | 1-7PM
• Sat, March 14 & 15 | 11AM-7PM
