<h1>Atlanta: The South&rsquo;s Best Food &amp; Music Destination</h1>
What do CNN, Coca-Cola, Delta Airlines, Home Depot and UPS all have in common? Other than being multibillion-dollar corporations, they&rsquo;re all based in Atlanta! However, in addition to being a thriving thriving business community, many historians consider this bustling cultural melting pot as the birthplace of the Civil Rights Movement, where Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Congressman John Lewis and several other influential leaders led the movement. You can visit the National Center for Civil Human Rights and the Martin Luther King, Jr. National Historic Site to learn more about Atlanta&rsquo;s role in the Civil Rights Movement. The art and music scene here is legendary, so unsurprisingly, so is the cuisine. Atlantans love their southern food (yes, we&rsquo;re looking at you, fried chicken, peach cobbler, sweet tea and barbecue) but they wholeheartedly embrace all sorts of international and ethnic cuisine. Fortunately for us, that means Atlanta&rsquo;s food truck scene is thriving, and you can find just about any delicious street food here!&nbsp;
We can&rsquo;t talk about the ATL without mentioning its role in hip-hop music. While hip-hop may have originated in the Bronx, it didn&rsquo;t take this diverse city long to figure out how to stamp its soul-minded influence on the genre. Legendary ATL hip-hop bands and artists such as the OutKast, Ludacris, Gucci Mane, Future, Migos, Crime Mob, Killer Mike, Young Thug, Childish Bambino, Young Jeezy and others blew things up in the hip-hop world. A-Town also knows how to PAR-TAY, proven by the number of music and food festivals in the ITP (inside the perimeter highways encircling downtown) and the OTP (outside the perimeter).&nbsp;
<h2>Atlanta&rsquo;s Hottest Food and Music Festivals</h2>
Atlantans can find their favorite street food at many spots around the city, especially in<a href="https://www.midtownatl.com/life/shop-and-dine/food-trucks"> Midtown</a>, where three locations have been designated for food trucks. Craft breweries, office buildings, community parks and shopping centers are also roaming kitchen hot spots. However, we&rsquo;re going to focus on some of A-town&rsquo;s best foodie-centric events.&nbsp;

<h1>Boulder &mdash; Happy, Educated, Outdoorsy &amp; Beer-Loving</h1>
Anyone who has lived in or visited Boulder can confirm that this University of Colorado hometown at the foot of the majestic Rocky Mountains has an energetic, outdoorsy pulse unlike anywhere else. Boulderites don&rsquo;t &ldquo;go green&rdquo; like other city residents because they already are &ldquo;green.&rdquo; Recycling, eating organic, biking instead of driving and reducing waste is practically inherent in Boulderites&rsquo; DNA. In fact, Boulder Valley has 300 miles of bike paths, lanes and routes, making it one of the nation's bike-friendliest cities.&nbsp;
And it turns out that bike-ability and happiness share a high correlation, according to a 2017 National Geographic / Gallup study. Researchers compared happiness metrics from multiple metro areas, such as healthy lifestyle habits, access to nature, financial security, education, ample vacation time, feeling productive, civic engagement and even frequency of dental checkups &mdash; and Boulder tops the list! Per capita, more Boulderites walk to work than any other city, and access to nature is a no-brainer in this beautiful community where bouldering, biking, snow sports, hiking, paddling, climbing, boating, paragliding, fishing and camping are steps from your front door. Another factor contributing to Boulderites&rsquo; happiness is puppy love &mdash; literally! Pet ownership and happiness have always shared a high correlation, but Boulder takes its love of pets to another level. In 2000, city officials changed the legal description of pet ownership from pet owner to pet guardian, making Boulder the nation&rsquo;s first city to recognize that pets are not merely objects to be owned, like cars, furniture, homes, etc. In addition, Boulder&rsquo;s Open Space and Mountain Parks is one of the rare municipal park systems that allow off-leash dog walking in most spaces.&nbsp;
Last, who knew that water quality and happiness also share a high correlation (according to the same NatGeo study)? Given that most of Boulder&rsquo;s water comes from melted snow flowing into mountain creeks and rivers, we&rsquo;re not surprised that its water quality is among the nation&rsquo;s top. And, as craft beer fans know, beer brewed from pristine water is noticeably better than traditional city water. Colorado&rsquo;s first craft brewery, Boulder Beer Company, opened in 1979. Soon after, Boulder became a homebrewing and craft brewing epicenter, launching many craft beer-related trade organizations and events like the original Great American Beer Festival. Boulderites wholeheartedly embrace their craft beer legacy, so once they wrap up the day&rsquo;s intellectual pursuits or outdoor adventures, they head to the city&rsquo;s nearly two dozen breweries and tap rooms &mdash; or to our favorite activities: food truck festivals and events! You can find a festival, lawn concert, food truck carnival, farmers market and similar events nearly year-round here.&nbsp;
<h2>Boulder&rsquo;s Vibrant Food Truck Scene</h2>
Food truck popularity originated in Southern California, and trend-setting Boulder didn&rsquo;t take long to hop on the food truck love train. Food trucks crawl the city streets regularly, rolling up to breweries and business parks, dishing up street food faves and unique creations, including many vegan and vegetarian options. You&rsquo;ll also see food truck carts and mobile vendors regularly parked along Boulder&rsquo;s artsy, foodie, shopping and pedestrian-friendly<a href="https://boulderdowntown.com/"> Pearl Street Mall</a>.&nbsp;
For a fun after-work outing, date/friend/family night, or simply an I-don&rsquo;t-feel-like cooking day, enjoy your favorite street foods at the<a href="https://www.therayback.com/"> Rayback Collective</a>, a lively year-round permanent food truck park housed in a former plumbing supply company space. The Rayback Collective is like a backyard party with yard games, music, a craft beer garden, a bar, a coffee shop and an event space. Food trucks such as Arepas Caribbean, Temaki Tornado, McDevitt Taco Supply, Tibet&rsquo;s, Scrooge Maki, Los Dos Bros Mexican Food Truck, Lenin&rsquo;s Wood-Fired Pizzas, La Rue Bayou, Bandar Syrian &amp; Mediterranean, Power Ice Cream and Rollin&rsquo; Bones BBQ rotate through here regularly. Keep reading to see the fantastic Boulder-area food truck events and happenings below!&nbsp;

<h2>Boulder&rsquo;s Best Annual Food Truck Events</h2>
Boulderites spend time in the great outdoors year-round, but given the chilly winters, most of the region&rsquo;s bigger annual outdoor events happen between May and October. For example, the outstanding<a href="https://bcfm.org/markets/"> Boulder County Farmer&rsquo;s Market</a> meets each Saturday from April through November. The market is so popular that it also meets on Wednesday evenings From May through October. (In nearby Longmont, the market meets every Saturday from April through November.) In addition to farm-fresh produce and locally raised poultry and meat, you can stock up on fresh baked goods, flowers, plants, handcrafted condiments and artisan goods. In between shopping, refuel at food trucks and mobile vendors selling vegan dishes, tacos, samosas, Vietnamese crepes, pupusas, pizza, BBQ, coffee, ice cream and more. Live music, kids' crafts and product sampling round out this locals&rsquo; favorite event.&nbsp;
You also won&rsquo;t want to miss<a href="https://niwot.com/rock-rails/"> Rock the Rails</a>, a weekly free summer concert series in nearby Niwot. Rock the Rails happens every Thursday evening at Whistle Stop Park from June through August, featuring a different band each week. Food trucks and local beer vendors keep the party lively!

<h1>Charleston &mdash; Legendary Local Cuisine &amp; Genuine Hospitality&nbsp;</h1>
Anyone who has lived in or visited this delightful, historic city knows it earned its reputation as an exquisite gastronomical paradise. The Holy City&rsquo;s reputation as a friendly, welcoming place is rooted in history, and visitors still feel its genuine hospitality today. If you&rsquo;ve ever wondered why you see pineapples depicted everywhere (when they don&rsquo;t grow in SC), the tantalizingly sweet fruit played a role in Charleston&rsquo;s social scene during colonial times. Legend has it that ship captains arriving from the Caribbean displayed the rare, exotic fruit outside their homes to notify neighbors they were home and welcoming visitors. As the fruit gained popularity and esteem, hostesses who could offer the coveted delicacy to guests were considered exceedingly generous and hospitable.&nbsp;
One of the best ways to experience this friendly vibe is a downtown walking tour, where a knowledgeable guide can share fascinating anecdotes and point out historical sites. Remember how we mentioned that Charleston&rsquo;s cuisine is legendary? Elevate your walking tour experience with a foodie tour &mdash; you get to see Charleston&rsquo;s most notable features and taste them too! (Check out<a href="https://charlestonculinarytours.com/"> Charleston Culinary Tours</a> for some of the city&rsquo;s most memorable foodie tours led by highly qualified guides.)&nbsp;
In addition to Low Country (cuisine based on local ingredients with African and colonial European influences) and Southern faves such as buttermilk fried chicken, slow-cooked collard greens, anything with pimiento cheese, shrimp &amp; grits, fried chicken livers, she-crab soup, BBQ and Huguenot torte, you&rsquo;ll also find Gullah Geechee cuisine here. Gullah Geechee people are descendants of enslaved West Africans who lived in Southern Atlantic coastal communities from the Carolinas to Florida. Gullah Geechee people have a rich cultural heritage, with distinctive art, language, music and a cooking style that features local seafood, seasonal vegetables and grains. Gullah Geechee cuisine blends native West African ingredients like okra, yams, rice, hot peppers, spices and peanuts with coastal Native American ingredients like corn, squash, berries, grits and tomatoes. Hoppin&rsquo; John (a rice, vegetable and pea dish), okra stew, red rice (rice cooked with tomatoes, pork and vegetables) and garlic crabs are Gullah Geechee dishes you might see on menus. Charleston cuisine is a true blend of European, West African, Caribbean, Gullah Geechee, Low Country, soul and Southern&mdash; which we&rsquo;re happy to see reflected in the city&rsquo;s vibrant food truck scene!
<h2>Charleston&rsquo;s Food Truck Scene</h2>
In a city that embraces its culinary talents like Charleston, it&rsquo;s unsurprising that food trucks are popular here &mdash; really popular! The city ranks second (only behind Orlando) for the number of food trucks per capita, about 48 per 100,000 people. Charleston&rsquo;s year-round pleasant weather creates multiple opportunities for gathering outdoors, socializing, catching concerts, attending festivals and delving into some truly fantastic street food. We&rsquo;ve rounded up a few of Charleston&rsquo;s best food truck events.

<h1>Charlotte &mdash; Where Brewers, Bands, Artists &amp; Street Food Make Fab Collabs</h1>
When we hear the term Gold Rush, we typically envision frenzied wannabe miners racing across the plains to California&rsquo;s mountains in the mid-1800s. However, it turns out that Charlotte, NC, was the U.S.&rsquo; first Gold Rush site when a 12-year-old boy found a 17-pound chunk of gold on his family&rsquo;s farm in 1799 &mdash; almost 50 years before a California mill construction worker found the gold that ignited the California Gold Rush. The discovery of Charlotte&rsquo;s gold prompted the U.S. Treasury to establish the first U.S. Mint branch in 1835 so that local gold could be minted into coins. Charlotte never looked back and went on to become the U.S.&rsquo; second largest banking center, second only to New York!&nbsp;
Yet, banking isn&rsquo;t Charlotte&rsquo;s only claim to fame &mdash; professional sports reign king here. The Queen City is the proud home of the Charlotte Panthers (NFL), the Charlotte Hornets (NBA) and a brand new major league soccer team, the Charlotte Football club (plus minor league baseball and hockey teams). And Charlotte has something many cities of comparable size lack &mdash; the Charlotte Motor Speedway, which sets the standard for motorsports entertainment and hosts multiple NASCAR events. The NASCAR Hall of Fame calls Charlotte home too. (Fun side note: we can thank Prohibition for the birth of stock car racing &mdash; Appalachian moonshiners needed fast cars and crazily talented drivers who could handle hairpin turns to escape local and federal law enforcement! Many drivers went on to become NASCAR Hall of Famers after Prohibition ended.) So, what do Charlotteans do when they&rsquo;re not watching sports or visiting one of the many excellent local museums? Attend food, drink and music festivals, of course! And food trucks play a leading role in Charlotte&rsquo;s eating-out scene, with multiple ongoing weekly food truck happenings and lively events.&nbsp;
Want to know where food trucks are in your area? Download our app or<a href="https://gotruckster.com/nearby"> visit our maps page</a>. We also have a<a href="https://gotruckster.com/truck-owner"> robust app for vendors</a>!&nbsp;
<h2>Charlotte&rsquo;s Best Ongoing Food Truck Events</h2>
We weren&rsquo;t kidding when we said the Queen City (named after British King George III&rsquo;s wife, Charlotte, in 1768) embraces food truck culture. Craft beer and food trucks are a match made in heaven, and you can find plenty of these matchups around town. Whether it&rsquo;s tacos, BBQ, soft pretzels, grilled cheese, lobster, dumplings, hot dogs, nachos or ice cream you&rsquo;re craving alongside your pint, a rolling kitchen will be nearby and ready to serve. Check out these Food Truck Fridays at<a href="https://www.facebook.com/armoredcowbrewing"> Armored Cow Brewing&rsquo;s University City</a>,<a href="https://www.facebook.com/NoDaBrewingCompany/"> NoDa Brewing Company</a>,<a href="https://www.facebook.com/ResidentCulture"> Resident Culture Brewing Company</a>,<a href="https://www.facebook.com/FoodTruckFridaySouthend/"> Sycamore Brewing&rsquo;s Food Truck Friday South End</a> and<a href="https://www.facebook.com/CabarrusFoodTrucks"> Cabarrus Brewing Company/Cabarrus County Food Truck Fridays</a>.

<h1>Chicago: The City that Likes to Eat &amp; Drink!</h1>
America&rsquo;s third largest city is known for many things &mdash;1920s-era mobsters like Al Capone and John Dillinger, towering skyscrapers, world-class museums, renowned universities and legendary professional sports teams. Although New Orleans holds the title &ldquo;the birthplace of jazz,&rdquo; the Chicago jazz scene caught fire as talented Nola jazz artists such as King Oliver and Louis Armstrong migrated north in the early 1900s. We can also thank (or blame, depending on your music tastes) Chicago for helping kill off disco music in 1979 with an infamous White Sox promotion called Disco Demolition Night. Imagine thousands of energized rock music fans bringing disco LPs to Comiskey Park to be blown up, which ultimately ended in a riot. With disco dying out in the early 1980s, local underground club DJs began experimenting with thumping four-on-the-floor, 120-beats-per-minute tempo music that eventually morphed into a whole new genre called house music.&nbsp;
Chicago also holds the honor of being one the world&rsquo;s top cities for eating and drinking out, according to an extensive study by<a href="https://www.timeout.com/things-to-do/best-cities-in-the-world"> Time Out</a>! The Windy City is renowned worldwide for its foodie scene, and it turns out that some of its best food comes from mobile kitchens. Chicago streets light up as revelers sing, dance, eat and party at food truck festivals and events across the city. (What would you expect in a place that dyes its city river bright green for St. Patrick&rsquo;s Day?) Chicago has introduced the rest of the nation to its iconic foods, such as deep-dish pizza, hot dogs and Italian beef sandwiches, all of which mobile caterers and food truck chefs happily prepare as they roam. And speaking of the Windy City, yes, the wind blows off Lake Michigan, earning Chicago another moniker, &ldquo;Chi-beria&rdquo; for its frigid winters. However, its nickname Windy City likely originated in the late 1800s as an insult from nearby Midwest cities such as Cincinnati and St. Louis, which were competing to become the region&rsquo;s greatest metropolises. Apparently, Chicagoans were so proud of their town that they boasted a bit too vociferously, so newspaper editorials often referred to citizens as longwinded blowhards or full of hot air.&nbsp;
<h2>Chicago&rsquo;s Incredible Food Truck Scene</h2>
Despite Chicago&rsquo;s notorious chilly winters, its amazingly lively food truck scene rivals many cities in warmer climes where people can eat outdoors year-round. For example, Chicago&rsquo;s Department of Business Affairs and Consumer Protection (BACP) has identified at least 40 official mobile food stands (designated food truck parking areas). BACP also hosts a weekly lunchtime food truck fest each Friday at Daly Plaza from May through October. Follow BACP&rsquo;s<a href="https://www.facebook.com/ChicagoBACP"> social media</a> for the rotating truck schedule. However, these events barely scratch the surface of Chicago&rsquo;s rolling kitchen street food madness. Throw a dart at a calendar here, and you&rsquo;re sure to land on a food truck festival or event! We&rsquo;ve listed a few below.&nbsp;
(Download our app or<a href="https://gotruckster.com/nearby"> check out our map page</a> to find where the trucks are parked whenever a craving hits.

<h1>Columbus &mdash; THE Place to Try New Foods &amp; Savor Its Food Truck Scene</h1>
There&rsquo;s a reason why Columbus is a hot spot for national restaurant chains to test new menu items &mdash; Ohio&rsquo;s capital city likes to eat out &mdash; a lot! This Midwestern gem is brimming with a diverse, young, highly educated population, partly due to the Ohio State University Buckeyes and dozens of other colleges that call C-Bus home. Savvy restaurant marketers know that this eclectic mix of residents is willing to try new foods, including our favorite kind: street food. In a city that produced celebrities such as The Food Network&rsquo;s Guy Fieri, fast food chains (Wendy&rsquo;s, Buffalo Wild Wings and White Castle) and a robust mix of ethnic cuisine, this town has a long, delicious relationship with food. Fortunately, fantastic food trucks roam all over this city &mdash; think AJ&rsquo;s Birria Tacos&rsquo; slow-roasted birria, Pitabilities&rsquo; savory gyros, Fork in Nigeria&rsquo;s fried oxtail, Paddy Wagon&rsquo;s smoked brisket and Holy Crepes&rsquo; irresistible Dulce de Leche crepes, to name a few.
When Columbusites aren&rsquo;t eating, they are exploring beautiful parks and cultural attractions like the COSI (Center of Science and Industry), Columbus Zoo &amp; Aquarium, historic German Village and LEGOLAND Discovery Center. Beer lovers will want to traverse the<a href="http://www.cbusaletrail.com/"> Columbus Ale Trail</a>, a group of breweries and tap rooms where you can collect stamps on a &ldquo;passport&rdquo; to earn free beer and swag. And C-Bus is THE place to be on the Fourth of July because it hosts the Midwest&rsquo;s largest Independence Day Celebration &mdash; the<a href="https://www.redwhiteandboom.org/"> Red, White &amp; Boom</a>, a massive event featuring a street parade and festival, live music and, of course, a dazzling fireworks show.
<h2>Where to Find Food Trucks in Columbus</h2>
Mobile food vendors frequent street corners, office buildings, shopping centers, breweries and apartment complexes regularly around here &mdash; and one place you&rsquo;re sure to find at least eight trucks every Thursday from 11 am to 2 pm (May &ndash; October) is at the<a href="https://columbuscommons.org/events/food-trucks/"> John F. Wolf Columbus Commons</a>. Bring your favorite two-legged or four-legged companion, grab your grub at the food truck court and relish the surrounding scenery. The trucks rotate their schedules, so forget that boring brown bag lunch and jazz up your lunchtime routine!
Remember, you can look up food truck location schedules and order ahead using our food finder app or<a href="https://gotruckster.com/nearby"> maps page</a>!

Dallas Food Truck Parks
The very first food trucks date back to the chuckwagon. These covered wagons sold perishable food to cowboys and loggers in the American wilderness. Although we have come a long way from the Chuckwagon, you can still find Cowboys and cowboy fans eating from food trucks around AT&amp;T Stadium. Over the years food trucks have become a large part of the everchanging cuisine options in the DFW area. Downtown Dallas, which is widely recognized as a foodie's paradise, has increasingly encouraged new cuisines that don&rsquo;t always stay in one spot. Food trucks have become as much a staple for techy and business guru's lunching downtown, as they are for the city's vibrant nightlife. Food trucks here in Dallas / Ft. Worth are as diverse as the people, you can find a Texas BBQ truck next to a Vegan truck, no questions asked. Be sure to go to the <a href="https://apps.apple.com/us/app/truckster-denver-food-trucks/id1375284993?ls=1" rel="nofollow">App Store</a> or <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.truckster" rel="nofollow">Google Play</a> to download Truckster and find all the best Dallas food trucks near you.

<h1>Denver &mdash; Beer, Home Runs and Food Trucks Galore!</h1>
Most of us know Denver&rsquo;s nickname is the Mile High City. And while Colorado was the nation&rsquo;s first state to legalize recreational marijuana, the Mile High City nickname has nothing to do with weed&rsquo;s euphoric effects (at least it didn&rsquo;t initially)! Colorado&rsquo;s capital city earned that nickname because it sits at 5,280 feet &mdash; exactly one mile &mdash; above sea level. If you visit Denver&rsquo;s state capitol building, you&rsquo;ll climb granite steps to the main entrance, including three steps labeled as being at 5,280&rsquo; elevation. The steps are only a few feet apart &mdash; the step height discrepancies are due to different measuring techniques over the decades. Regardless of which step is actually the correct one, the view of the majestic Rocky Mountains from any of the three is spectacular! It&rsquo;s so spectacular that a city ordinance protects the view, prohibiting developers from building structures that block it. The MLB Colorado Rockies&rsquo; home park Coors Field also has an ordinance-protected view &mdash; and one row of purple seats in a sea of green ones that are at 5,280 feet elevation!&nbsp;
Speaking of Coors Field, it has a reputation for being a hitters' field &mdash; baseballs really do travel 5-10% farther here than parks at sea level, resulting in more home runs. The high elevation and semi-arid climate make the air less dense and humid, reducing drag. Pitchers find their curveballs tend to curve less here, also benefitting batters. To compensate for the thin air advantage, Coors Field&rsquo;s outfield fences were placed farther from the home plate, creating MLB&rsquo;s largest outfield. Apparently, that wasn&rsquo;t enough to level the playing field (pardon the pun)! The park later installed a large humidor to store the balls because the humidity makes them a tad softer and slower. And we can&rsquo;t talk about Coors Field without mentioning Coors Brewing, which still uses cold pristine Rocky Mountain spring water to brew beer!&nbsp;
And speaking of beer, beer is arguably Denverites&rsquo; favorite beverage. The Denver metro area is home to roughly 150 craft breweries. And what goes together even better than beer and baseball? Beer and food trucks, of course! Throw a dart at a Denver map, and you&rsquo;re almost sure to land on a craft brewery with a food truck or two parked out front. Coloradoans are practically immune to cold weather and will sit outdoors year-round under bluebird sunny skies, sipping frothy beers and noshing on delicious street food.
<h2>Denver&rsquo;s Food Truck Scene</h2>
Unsurprisingly, in a city that loves craft beer, you&rsquo;ll find tons of festivals and events where craft beer flows. For example, about 40,000 beer lovers flock to Denver each September for the<a href="https://www.greatamericanbeerfestival.com/"> Great American Beer Festival</a> to sample 2,000+ beers from 500+ American craft breweries. (Since the multi-day event occurs indoors at the Denver Convention Center, there&rsquo;s only room for a few food trucks.) What might surprise you is that Denver has a robust arts and culture scene, with excellent museums and performing arts complexes. One of the best ways to experience it is at the year-round<a href="https://denversartdistrict.org/first-friday"> Santa Fe Art Walk First Fridays</a>. This Art District comes alive with thousands of people meandering the streets, studios and galleries and swinging by food trucks such as Chibby Wibbitz Sliderz n Bites, Dos Gringos, DownTown Fingers, Happy Cones and Roll It Up Sushi Truck. As we noted earlier, craft breweries book food trucks year-round, but most of Denver&rsquo;s food truck events happen during the warmer months. We&rsquo;ve rounded up a few not to miss!&nbsp;

<h1>Detroit, aka Motor City, Revs Up Its Food Truck Scene</h1>
Most of us know that Detroit and the American automotive industry will be forever linked, hence its nickname, &ldquo;Motor City.&rdquo; However, we can also thank Detroit for its musical influences on the world, from<a href="https://www.motownrecords.com/"> Motown Records</a>&rsquo; hits from legendary artists such as Stevie Wonder, The Supremes, Marvin Gaye and The Temptations, to techno music and hip-hop artists like Eminem.&nbsp;
Maybe it&rsquo;s something in the water, but creativity percolates here &mdash; just check out all the street art! Creativity also simmers in Detroit&rsquo;s food truck scene. Despite Detroit&rsquo;s cold winters, Motor City is literally rolling with motor-powered culinary greatness year-round! From music festivals to wine, taco, beer, old-timey cars and St. Patrick&rsquo;s Day parades, the food truck scene is alive and revving.
Some other fun facts about Detroit include its obsession with potato chips. Reportedly, Detroiters consume more addictive salted crispy fried potato slices than any other city. Locals&rsquo; favorite 1930s-era<a href="https://bettermade.com/"> Better Made Potato Chips</a> are still sliced, fried and bagged here daily. So maybe watching the four legendary sports franchises &mdash; the Detroit Lions, Pistons, Red Wings and Tigers requires a hometown snack!

<h1>Fort Collins &mdash; Best of Many Things, Including Bikes &amp; Food Trucks!</h1>
Landing on lists such as &ldquo;Best Places to Live,&rdquo; &ldquo;Best Places to Retire,&rdquo; &ldquo;Most Bike Friendly Cities,&rdquo; and Happiest Cities in the U.S.,&rdquo; Fort Collins has plenty to brag about! While its more famous neighbor to the south, Boulder, ranked #1 on the &ldquo;Happiest Cities in the U.S.&rdquo; in a 2017 National Geographic/Gallup study, Fort Collins ranked #4. However, Fort Collins holds the honor of inspiring a truly happy place &mdash; Disneyland&rsquo;s Main Street USA! The master of creating happy places, Walt Disney, modeled his theme park&rsquo;s Main Street USA after seeing photos of Fort Collins&rsquo; historic, picturesque downtown. Harper Goff, a Disney set designer who grew up in Fort Collins, took photographs of the courthouse, several banks, the firehouse and turn-of-the-century streets, which later became models for many of Disneyland&rsquo;s iconic Main Street USA buildings.&nbsp;
Fort Collins and Boulder share another distinction &mdash; bike friendliness. The two cities are Colorado&rsquo;s only platinum-status ones on the League of American Bicyclists list of bike-friendly communities. Fort Collins takes it a step further, with its hometown school, Colorado State University, being the only platinum-status university in Colorado (University of Colorado, Boulder earned gold status). After all that cycling, residents and visitors often head to the two dozen or so craft breweries in this city nicknamed &ldquo;The Napa Valley of Beer.&rdquo; Aka &ldquo;Fort Fun,&rdquo; Fort Collins brews 70% of Colorado&rsquo;s craft beer, according to some sources. Craft beer lovers know that water quality plays a significant role in beer&rsquo;s taste, and some of the town&rsquo;s biggest breweries, Odell Brewing Company and New Belgium Brewing, get their water from the pristine Poudre River and Horsetooth Reservoir.&nbsp;
Beyond excellent beer, Fort Collins offers outdoor enthusiasts year-round opportunities to enjoy the region&rsquo;s biking, hiking, rafting, climbing, paddling and snow sports. Robust cultural, dining, entertainment and educational opportunities add to this dynamic city&rsquo;s allure. And you know a town nicknamed &ldquo;Fort Fun&rdquo; will have plenty of festivals, concerts and events with our favorite festival partners &mdash; food trucks and mobile caterers! So whether you are looking for a family-friendly event, a unique brewery experience or a music festival, we&rsquo;ve got you covered. Here are a few of our favorite regularly occurring events to keep you happy all year long.&nbsp;

<h2>Fort Collins&rsquo; Vibrant Food Truck Scene</h2>
Although Fort Collins is legendary for its numerous bike paths and lanes, dozens of food trucks have no problem navigating through the bikes to park at breweries, parks, festivals, concerts and other locations. One of the best places to satisfy your street food craving is the<a href="https://www.facebook.com/FoCoFoodTruckRally/"> FoCo Food Truck Rally</a>, which takes over City Park starting at 5:30 pm every Tuesday from May through September. Staying true to Fort Collins&rsquo; bike-friendly vibes, attendees are encouraged to cycle to this free community event, and leashed pets are welcome. Live bands liven up the weekly event, and, of course, your favorite food trucks and mobile vendors roll in and dish up the grub. The biggest challenge you&rsquo;ll encounter as you stroll along the food trucks parked along Sheldon Drive is which one to try &mdash; will it be tacos, BBQ, fried chicken, corndogs, Nepalese dumplings, pizza, sushi, coffee, burgers, kettle corn, burritos, vegan dishes or desserts like ice cream, cookies, shave ice and cupcakes? You could come every week and sample something different.
