The time has come for this year’s final Shepherd Express’ Street Eats Mobile Food Fest. The Sept. 12 event will showcase Milwaukee’s growing food truck scene, offering some of the area’s best street food.
Food tickets will be available for purchase at the entrance, allowing you to try as much or as little food from vendors as desired. Lakefront Brewery beer, water and soda will also be available. The more tickets you buy, the cheaper they are and if you buy enough tickets, you’ll receive a free Frisbee sponsored by Marcus Restaurant Group.
