Buena Park: Food Truck Fest

On July 30, 2011, Buena Park High School jumped on the food truck craze and had over 20 food trucks from LA and OC to help raise money for their school.  

The trucks were parked inside the school at their track & field / football stadium, and the foodies were able to picnic on the football field, or were able to sit up in the bleachers.

The event was very organized.  Even though the school was located at the 91 and 5 freeway exit (on Magnolia), I found very little problem with parking or with traffic.

Trucks lined up along the perimeter of the football field
