Who’s coming: Eat the Street Winterfest
Stop by Friday’s holiday-themed Eat the Street for plenty of good eats and some ice skating. You read right… Eat the Street, which moves to a new Kaka’ako location this month, will feature 37 food trucks and street food vendors, and an ice skating rink! So come down, rent some skates and have some winter fun.
Three new food vendors are joining the ETS mix, including Momo Burger, Lox of Bagels and Street Frites, a new venture for Kawehi Haug of Let Them Eat Cupcakes.
This month, the food vendors will also light up their trucks for a special holiday decorating contest. Vote for your favorite decorated truck at the Street Grindz tent, and you’ll be eligible to win $40 in food vouchers for the next Eat The Street. The winning truck will also receive a prize.
