Des Moines, IA (MAY 7, 2018) — The Des Moines Social Club is kicking off the summer with its annual Food Truck Throw Down. From 11am to 8pm on Saturday, May 12th, 15 local food trucks will be on Cherry Street between 8th and 10th Streets. In addition to the food trucks, the event will host live music, art activities, and a food judging contest. All proceeds from the Food Truck Throw Down will support the Des Moines Social Club’s mission of using the arts as a catalyst to create unprecedented community engagement.

Building upon the success of the previous three years of the festival, event organizers expect to draw 8,000 attendees.
