Live Thoroughbred racing returns to Suffolk Downs on Saturday and Sunday August 6 and 7, for the second of three special weekend “Racing and Food Truck Festival” events taking place at the track. This year’s events take place on July 9/July 10, August 6/August 7 and September 3/September 4. The weekend festivals will include a dozen food trucks, craft beer, live music and family fun activities including pony rides, a bounce house and face painting.
“These will be three weekends of celebration,” says Lou Raffetto, a consultant for the New England Horsemen’s Benevolent and Protective Association (HBPA), who is overseeing the planning of the festival. “We are inviting everyone who loves horses, loves Suffolk Downs, loves food trucks and craft beer and just wants to spend the day or the weekend with us having family fun. We really see it as one big party!”
Some of Boston’s favorite food trucks will be a big part of these race weekends. Attendees can enjoy everything from burgers to egg rolls to waffles to fried chicken, hot dogs, ice cream sandwiches and more! Coordinated by Food Truck Festivals of America, some of the popular food trucks rolling into the track for the August weekend include Daddy’s Bonetown Burgers, Curbside Capriotti’s, Dragon Roll Grill, Teri-Yummy, Makin’ Jamaican, Trolley Dogs, Chick Chak, Pennypackers, Mo’Rockin Fusion, RiceBurg, Indulge India, Frozen Hoagies and Walloon’s.
