If you can’t find something good for lunch at Civic Center, you’re not looking hard enough.

Food-truck extravaganza Civic Center Eats kicks off Tuesday for its ninth year as a lunchtime getaway for downtown workers, residents and visitors.

The event is every Tuesday and Thursday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. along the promenade in Civic Center Park, through Oct. 9.

“We’ve got a lot of new food trucks this year as well as the longtime favorites,” said Lindy Eichenbaum Lent, executive director of the nonprofit Civic Center Conservancy.

Among the lineup of 46 trucks are 17 newcomers ranging from A Taste of the Philippines to Lucky Dog to Jessie’s Smokin’ NOLA.

Some trucks are scheduled for both days, others just once a week.

“Every year we play around with the mix,” Lent said. “We try to keep it local. We’ve turned away trucks from national chains.”

Proceeds from the event help support Civic Center revitalization efforts and events such as exercise programs, outdoor movies and the July 3 Independence Eve celebration.

Food-truck operators pay fees averaging $23 a day plus 10 percent of sales to Civic Center Conservancy. In addition to fees, the program is supported by corporate sponsorships.

Live music is another feature of Civic Center Eats. More information, including the music lineup can be found at civiccenterconservancy.org. The pop-up food court will not be open June 5, July 3, Aug. 28 and Sept. 2.
