HARRISBURG, Pa. (WHTM) More than 25 food trucks will be on Harrisburgs City Island for the Wish Upon a Food Truck Festival Saturday.<\/p>\n
The sixth annual event runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.<\/p>\n
The festivals proceeds are made through tips. Money raised goes to the Make a Wish Foundation.<\/p>\n
The local chapter is aiming to make enough to grant three childrens wishes, which costs $30,000.<\/p>\n
Each of our food trucks will have tip jars and well also have donation stations where you can donate online, said Emily Reading, the event organizer.<\/p>\n
In addition to food trucks, there will be vendors on site, and activities, like a scavenger hunt for kids.<\/p>\n
Local bands and dancers will be performing too.<\/p>\n
Organizers say theyre prioritizing safety during the pandemic.<\/p>\n
The number of food trucks has been scaled back this year.<\/p>\n
City Island has been split into five zones, so organizers can make sure no zone goes beyond the Governors 250-person outdoor gathering limit.<\/p>\n
Were going to have our social distancing practices in places, said Reading. Well have some roping and our little six-foot dots so that we know how to stand and traffic flow throughout the island.<\/p>\n
During the pandemic, some wishes are being granted virtually.<\/p>\n
Just a few days ago, a girl in Harrisburg was given a shopping spree. The fire department went to her home and gave her gift cards, so she could do a lot of online shopping.<\/p>\n
