Mobile food trucks will roll into Dearborn for the summer season at events hosted by the West Dearborn Downtown Development Authority (WDDDA).

The WDDDA received approval from the Dearborn City Council at its meeting on Tuesday to move forward with its annual Food Truck Rallies. The rallies will take place on six Fridays from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. beginning May 17.

Steven Guibord, a representative from the WDDDA, said event organizers are expanding the rallies by adding three more dates this year. "Last year we had three rallies that were highly successful. The consensus from the public has been that we need to do more events like this," Guibord said.

The events will take place at various locations in west downtown Dearborn on May 17, June 7, July 12, Aug. 9, Sept. 20 and Oct. 11. The June 7 Food Truck Rally will be part of the West Dearborn Block Party, which takes place June 7-8.

The July 12 and Aug. 9 rallies will take place alongside concerts as part of the West Dearborn Concert Series, held behind the Bryant Library.

"We'll have some of our popular vendors back again this year," Guibord said. "All of the food trucks have expressed excitement about the rallies in Dearborn."
