Downtown Alpharetta to Host Food Truck Alley, Arts Streetfest This Week

Thursday night will be the first food truck event in the parking lot off Old Roswell Street, while Main Street will close on Friday and Saturday for the arts event.

Alpharetta resumes its attempts to bring residents and non-residents to downtown Alpharetta this week, using food trucks and art to draw people to this section of the city. On Thursday night the city will host its first Food Truck Alley, a weekly gathering that will take place on Old Roswell Street with a variety of rotating food trucks and music each week.  Approximately 6-8 food trucks are expected, with seating available on the street. Alpharetta Food Truck Alley is presented by the City of Alpharetta and Fork In the Road, LLC.  Our live music sponsor is presented by Music Matters. On Saturday and Sunday, the annual Alpharetta Arts Streetfest returns to Milton Avenue between Main Street (GA 9) and the Roswell/Canton streets intersection…

The groundbreaking date for Alpharetta's City Center is approaching, and work to prepare will continue to affect downtown plans and schedules. The latest "victim" of City Center will be the Alpharetta Downtown Farmers Market, but it will just be moved. For the past few years the farmers market has been held in the parking lot beside City Hall on South Main Street, a very visible location that members of the Alpharetta Business Association have said serves it well. "I'm just trying to see how long we can stay in the parking lot," said Dick Debban of the Alpharetta Business Association, which sponsors the farmers market. "We'd love to stay there one more year if we could." But this site will not be available starting even before the …
