Williams Landing will become a foodie haven this week when Melbourne’s best food trucks come to town.

The Williams Landing Food Truck Carnival will run from Thursday to Sunday and include a rotation of 30 food trucks, including Senor Churro, White Guy Cooks Thai, Roadrunner Fried Chicken, Jay’s Yogurt, Big Smoke BBQ, Sliders on Tyres and Squires Loft Express. Vegetarian, vegan and gluten free options are available.

Foodies can also enjoy carnival rides, a fully licensed bar and music and there will be children’s games and activities as part of the festival.

Carlo Paduano from the Food Truck Carnival Co. said more than 35,000 people attended last year’s inaugural event and organisers were hoping to improve on that figure this year.

The food truck carnival will be at Williams Landing Shopping Centre, 100 Overton Road, from 5-10pm on January 18-19, noon-10pm on January 20, and noon-9pm on January 21.
