Buffalo Mayor Byron Brown and the Buffalo Common Council made the announcement Tuesday saying the weekly event will officially kick off on Thursday, May 5 from 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. and will continue each Thursday through October.

"Celebrate Cinco De Mayo with us this week as we kickoff another season of Food Truck Thursdays in Niagara Square," stated Mayor Brown. "Buffalo’s food truck industry was hit hard during the pandemic with smaller crowds and decreased revenues. We are pleased to welcome them back and invite residents to show their continued support by taking part in this popular summer-time lunch event."

Food Truck Thursdays was initially launched back in 2015 as part of a pilot program to provide workers and visitors in the city additional food options during lunchtime. When the program first launched, the city says there were only eight vendors who participated during a three month trial. Now the number of participants has more than doubled.

According to the mayor's office, five vendors will be featured on Thursday, May 5. The food trucks include K Café, Maria’s Bene Cibo, Mineo & Sapio Street Eats, Polish Villa and Street Café.
