Santa Anita Park hopes to attract a new audience with food truck festivals in the infield

The event, which will feature nearly 70 food trucks, will take place one week after the Kentucky Derby and one week in advance of the Preakness Stakes.

After drawing nearly 23,000 patrons on a horse race day with 80 gourmet food trucks earlier this month, Santa Anita Park is going to see how well the trucks draw when their are no races at the track.

Gourmet Food Truck Festival II at Santa Anita Park was another big hit today, and with a whopping 80 trucks parked all over the giant infield, waiting lines were mostly tolerable.

Thousands of local residents packed the infield at Santa Anita Park Saturday for the first Food Truck Festival in the race track's storied history.

It's on from 11:30 a.m. through 4 p.m., and tickets are $12 in advance (that will include parking); admission and parking'll go up at the door. On the sides of the trucks: Border Grill, NaanStop, Dogtown Dogs, and well over a dozen more names you know, or should get to know.

Dine and drink with the most popular food trucks in the county while the excitement of the thoroughbred racing encircles you, literally!
