(UPI) – National Food Truck Day, celebrated annually on the fourth Friday in June, was originally celebrated in October and was founded by a Texas radio DJ.
The holiday was inaugurated on Oct. 11, 2015, by Rick McNeely, aka DJ Rick, a radio personality for the Fishbowl Radio Network in Arlington, Texas. The holiday was designed to celebrate and promote food trucks, which gained newfound popularity in the 2000s.
Roaming Hunger, a networking platform for food truck and catering business owners, became involved in the holiday in 2016, and the date was moved in 2018 from October to the fourth Friday in June.
