FRANKENMUTH, Mich. - Aug. 1, 2024 - PRLog -- Celebrate the dog days of summer at the Frankenmuth Funtown Chowdown Food Truck, returning August 8 to Frankenmuth River Place Shops with approximately 20 food trucks from across Michigan and family-friendly activities including inflatables.

Each food truck festival will showcase special activities and entertainment along with a variety of food.

Each event also features approximately 20 food trucks from across Michigan, music entertainment, and a beer tent. There will also be plenty of shaded seating, and additional activities for families like face painting and inflatables. The event is pet-friendly; animals must be on a 6-foot leash at all times.
