Food Truck Thursdays Bring Local Eats and Family Fun to Riverwalk Park

Columbia Main Street is inviting the community this summer to Food Truck Thursdays, a new weekly event series taking place every Thursday in June and July from 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at Riverwalk Park in Downtown Columbia.

Located right off the Downtown District, the Farmers Market Pavilion at Riverwalk Park will be transformed into a gathering space for Food Truck Thursdays. This event will feature a rotating lineup of local food trucks, offering residents and visitors a variety of food options each week.

In addition to great food, Columbia Main Street will provide a variety of free yard games for attendees to enjoy while spending time with family and friends. Games will include Connect 4, Tic-Tac-Toe, Ring Toss, and more.

The event is being spearheaded by Columbia Main Street Board Members Marvin Brooks and John “Tee” Davis. “Food Truck Thursdays were created to give the community a common space where people can gather and show support for the local food trucks that are such an important part of Columbia’s community,” said Brooks and Davis in a joint statement.

Food Truck Thursdays will take place on the following dates:

• June 4
• June 11
• June 18
• June 25
• July 2
• July 9
• July 16
• July 23
• July 30

Time: 4-8 PM |  Address: 102 Riverside Drive, Columbia, TN 38401

Food truck operators interested in participating in the series are encouraged to contact Columbia Main Street Manager Kelli Johnson at [email protected] for more information. For updates on weekly food truck lineups and other downtown events, follow Columbia Main Street on social media.

Tornado Siren Testing on First Saturday of Every Month

From Maury County Office of Emergency Management’s post…   

MAURY COUNTY HEADS UP!

If you hear tornado sirens go off this Saturday, don't be alarmed — it's a routine test! Tornado sirens placed across the county will be activated for a brief period to test their capability and readiness. No emergency is taking place, and you do not need to seek shelter.

How they work: The sirens are connected to the National Weather Service and will sound automatically during tornado warnings and warnings for other life-threatening events, like flash floods.

They will not sound for tornado watches or other severe weather watches — only warnings.

Stay alert indoors too: Tornado sirens are designed to be heard outside. Residents should have at least two ways of receiving alerts when inside during severe weather — the WSMV4 App and a NOAA weather radio are two great tools to use for notifications.

When we test: The Tornado siren tests will occur on the first Saturday of each month at 1:00 PM. Tests may be postponed if severe weather is possible or if temperatures are at or below 32 degrees.

Use this test as an opportunity to review your family's severe weather emergency plan and identify the location of your nearest shelter.
