Food trucks congregating at Columbus Commons on Friday

Hungry Columbusites curious about the mobile eats movement will have a prime opportunity to sample the city’s selections Friday.

The Columbus Food Truck & Cart Festival will be held at Columbus Commons from 4-10 p.m., offering more than 20 local food trucks and carts spanning cuisines, live music and local vendors.

“It’s going to be a cool event,” said organizer Mike Gallicchio. “It should be a good little party.”

Gallicchio, who pulled the event together with Chas Kaplan, said he saw similar events in food truck havens like Los Angeles and Miami and figured it was time for a large-scale gathering in Columbus.

Admission is free and a portion of sales will go toward the Mid-Ohio Foodbank. There also will be beer. The tentative list of trucks and carts:

• Families Mobile Kitchen

• Leslie Crepes

• 3 Babes and a Baker

• Munch Box

• Earth Crust

• Yellow Boy Polish Boys

• Short North Bagel Deli

• Cheesy Truck

• Veggilicious

• Spinellis Deli

• Paddy Wagon

• Rad Dog

• Patty Cake

• Jeni’s Ice Cream

• Mojo TaGo

• Dave’s Dogs & More

• Mikey’s Late Nite Slice

• The Pickled Swine

• Lotsa Lobsta

• Juniors Tacos
