WARWICK, RI — Warwick hosted a second Food Truck Night at Warwick City Hall Thursday, drawing a big crowd of hungry citizens who lined up for quality fare, conversation and music provided by the Jesse Liam band.

“Where else do you have 1,000 people, all having a good time?” asked Mayor Scott Avedisian in the side lot between Warwick City Hall and the Warwick Museum of Art, which was filled with food trucks and people either lining up for food or enjoying it.

Karen Jedson, Director of Warwick’s Tourism Department, who said last month the first event was the start of an effort to bring more food trucks into the city, a test of the popularity of the concept, was convinced.

“They’re (food trucks) doing really well,” Jedson said.

They’re doing so well, in fact that there’s another one scheduled for Oct. 13.
