The final Food Truck Thursday of 2015 in Niagara Square was celebrated Thursday with food provided by some dozen food trucks. There also was music by Michael DeSanto.

The trucks were invited to the square this summer as a pilot project and Mayor Byron W. Brown declared the pilot a success

The food trucks are interested in returning next year, possibly more than once a week, Brown said. He said the city will consider the request.

The mayor said the food trucks did not hurt the business of nearby restaurants and the lunchtime customers enjoyed having the extra options available.

“Food, people, and music. It doesn’t get better than that,” Brown said when the lunch crowds arrived Thursday.
