[00:00:29] Speaker B: Welcome to the deep Dive. Today we're jumping into something that sounds pretty tasty.
[00:00:34] Speaker C: Yeah, we're looking at the fourth annual Holly Springs Food Truck Festival.
[00:00:38] Speaker B: Right. Happening Saturday, June 14, 2025. That's in Holly Springs, Mississippi, down at Sam Coupewood Park.
[00:00:45] Speaker C: Exactly. And we're going to cover, you know, what's happening, why you might want to go, or maybe even why you'd want to be a vendor there.
[00:00:54] Speaker B: Kind of give you the lowdown, whether you're just planning a day out or maybe you run a food truck yourself.
[00:00:59] Speaker C: That's the plan. Give you a good feel for the event.
[00:01:01] Speaker B: Okay, so let's. Let's get into it. The big promise is a day full of flavor, music and unforgettable memories. Sounds good to me.
[00:01:10] Speaker C: Definitely. And it's at Sam Coupe Wood Park. First thing to note, maybe free venue parking.
[00:01:15] Speaker B: Oh, that's always a plus. Makes things way easier, doesn't it?
[00:01:18] Speaker C: It really does. Takes one bit of stress away. And you know, the fact that it's the fourth year.
[00:01:23] Speaker B: Yeah, I noticed that. Fourth year, it suggests.
[00:01:25] Speaker C: Well, it suggests it's popular. Right. That the community down there really likes it. June 14th feels like a good summer date for it.
[00:01:32] Speaker B: So timing wise, what are we looking at?
[00:01:34] Speaker C: Okay, so the doors, they actually open at 12pm noon. But the main festival runs 1pm through to 8pm central time. Of course.
[00:01:43] Speaker B: Gotcha. 1 to 8pm That's a solid chunk of the day.
[00:01:46] Speaker C: Yeah, Full afternoon and evening. Plenty of time to sample things.
[00:01:50] Speaker B: And it seems like they really want people to settle in. They mention it's all ages and kids five and under are free. Free. Which is great for families.
[00:01:57] Speaker C: Absolutely. And they also say you can bring your own lawn chairs, even tents.
[00:02:00] Speaker B: Oh, really? Tents too?
[00:02:02] Speaker C: Yeah. So it sounds like they're going for that relaxed kind of picnic in the park vibe, you know?
[00:02:07] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:02:07] Speaker C: Set up your spot, hang out for a while.
[00:02:09] Speaker B: Nice. Okay, so for people thinking about just going to eat and enjoy, what's the draw?
[00:02:15] Speaker C: Well, the key phrase is a variety of food trucks. That's what it's all about, isn't it?
[00:02:19] Speaker B: Right, variety. So not just one type of thing.
[00:02:22] Speaker C: Exactly. You'd Expect maybe some bbq, maybe some sweet, maybe some tacos. Who knows? It's like a culinary tour without leaving the park. If you love trying different foods, this sounds like will heaven.
[00:02:33] Speaker B: Yeah, sounds ideal. You get to graze all afternoon.
[00:02:36] Speaker C: Plus the live music they mentioned food and music, classic combo.
[00:02:40] Speaker B: Okay, now shifting gears a bit. What if.
What if you're listening and you actually have a food truck?
[00:02:47] Speaker C: Ah, well, this could be really interesting for you then. Think about it.
[00:02:52] Speaker B: Fourth year running means it's established. Probably got a built in crowd.
[00:02:56] Speaker C: Precisely. And the whole event is about food. People are coming there specifically to eat delicious eats as they put it. They're primed and ready.
[00:03:05] Speaker B: That's a good point. You've got a captive audience that's literally there for what you offer.
[00:03:09] Speaker C: And it's not just foodies. Remember with the music, the all ages approach, the family friendly stuff, you're reaching a pretty broad audience. Families, couples, groups of friends.
[00:03:20] Speaker B: So it's a chance to connect directly with the Holly Springs community. Potentially get some new fans, new regulars maybe.
[00:03:26] Speaker C: Definitely. It seems like a solid opportunity for vendors. That phrase a variety of food trucks also suggests, you know, they're looking for different options. Maybe there's space for your unique thing.
[00:03:36] Speaker B: Right, right. So if you've got something cool and tasty, this seems like a good place to showcase it.
[00:03:40] Speaker C: Worth looking into for sure.
[00:03:42] Speaker B: Okay, so let's just quickly recap the core details again for everyone.
[00:03:45] Speaker C: Good idea.
[00:03:46] Speaker B: It's the fourth annual Holly Springs Food Truck Festival.
[00:03:49] Speaker C: Saturday, June 14, 2025.
[00:03:52] Speaker B: Main event runs 1pm to 8pm CDT, but you can get in starting at noon.
[00:03:57] Speaker C: And it's all happening in Sam Coupwood park in Holly Springs, Mississippi.
[00:04:01] Speaker B: Free parking. Remember, bring chairs, maybe even a small tent. Kids 5 and under get in free.
[00:04:07] Speaker C: So yeah, if you're planning to attend, it sounds like a fantastic day out. Just picture it. Sunshine, hopefully. Good music, amazing smells, just relaxing, trying.
[00:04:17] Speaker B: Some great food, making some summer memories. Sounds pretty perfect.
[00:04:20] Speaker C: And for the potential vendors listening, seriously, think about it. An established festival, food focused crowd, family atmosphere. It's a great platform.
[00:04:29] Speaker B: Definitely seems like a prime spot to connect with customers.
[00:04:32] Speaker C: So the final thought then maybe for everyone listening, whether you see yourself.
[00:04:36] Speaker B: Yeah. What kind of unique flavor, what kind of unforgettable experience could you either find there or maybe even bring there yourself.
[00:04:44] Speaker C: Something to think about as you look forward to June 14th.
