The Langford Station Arts and Culture District was bustling with activity on Saturday (Oct. 29) as the site played host to the first-ever Langford Fall Food Truck Festival.

Food trucks and sheltered sitting areas lined Station Avenue B次元官网网址� which was been closed to through traffic for the occasion B次元官网网址� while the districtB次元官网网址檚 pedestrian area was filled with activities ranging from face painting and pumpkin carving to oversized Jenga and bean bag games.

Despite grey skies and the threat of rain, the area was packed shortly after the festival opened at 2 p.m.

B次元官网网址淚tB次元官网网址檚 basically full, which is great,B次元官网网址� said Mayor Stew Young at the festival. B次元官网网址淭here isnB次元官网网址檛 much to do before Halloween, so this is great for our community to get everyone out and having fun.B次元官网网址�

Young said the city has always envisioned food trucks as a perfect fit for the district, and they had always wanted to do a pop-up food festival of some kind.

While it quickly became clear the district would be popular over the summer months thanks to Friday night music and beer events, Young said the city also wanted to see if the community would be interested in coming out to events in the cooler months.

Based on the success of the first day of the festival, Young said he would imagine the incoming council will be keen on making the event an annual occurrence.

The festival continues until 8 p.m. Saturday, and returns from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sunday (Oct. 30).
