PERRY, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT) Perry’s Food Truck Friday is back for the 2021 season.
Anya Turpin, Perry’s special events manager, says Food Truck Friday started in 2018 and quickly became a premiere event for the city.
City leaders tried different adaptations last year during the middle of the pandemic, but it just wasn’t the same. She says this year, you can expect new bands with different types of music, a DJ and an expanded layout.
“Not only because of Covid, but that was a general request, so we can have more space for more trucks, more beverage vendors, and just more room for people to spread out and enjoy downtown Perry,” Turpin said.
