Treats, Beats & Eats Called Off Tonight Due to Storms
Palm Bay’s inaugural food truck festival is postponed to March. Here’s what you need to know.
Palm Bay, FL -- Parks and Recreation cancelled tonight’s Treats, Beats & Eats food truck festival about an hour before the 5:00 PM start. The department cited forecasted thunderstorms and heavy rain. The message was brief: safety first, see you in March.
If you had tonight on your calendar, stand down. The event is not rescheduled to a specific date yet, but the posted image confirms March is the target.
Why They Called It
The National Weather Service out of Melbourne has tonight at 70-80% chance of precipitation with possible thunderstorms and new rainfall between a half and three-quarters of an inch. That is not outdoor festival weather.
Tomorrow is not much better. NWS issued a Marginal Risk for severe storms Saturday afternoon, with a 60% chance of precipitation continuing through the day.
What Was on the Lineup
As we covered in our earlier preview, tonight was the inaugural event in a planned monthly series at City Hall. DJ Adrian of Double Tiime Productions was set to perform, along with an American Belly Dance Club showcase. Family activities included Touch-A-Truck and giant yard games.
The series is free to attend. Wire 3 Fiber Optic Internet was the presenting sponsor. Non-food vendors and local creators could apply for free booth space.
When to Expect the Next One
The two confirmed future dates are March 20 and April 10. Both run 5:00 to 8:00 PM at City Hall.
