A special autism-friendly evening will form part of the celebrations in Limerick this coming June bank holiday weekend.
Taking place on Thursday, June 1, as part of the International Food Truck Festival, the event will see reduced audience numbers, music played at an appropriate decibel level, a vintage carnival with reduced lighting and speed and quiet areas of the park to relax.
Organisers have encouraged adults or children who may benefit from this evening to attend, admission is free.
The long term aim is to include sensory elements to the autism friendly night each year going forward.
The Limerick International Food Truck Festival will consist of more than 60 food trucks from 14 countries along with local and national traders
Festival goers will be treated to some of the most appetising, innovative, original and exotic foods imaginable with a new twist on some old classics like pizza, pasta, fries and gourmet sandwiches along with many never before seen dishes on Irish shores.
Highlights will include a Belgian artisan chocolate truck, preparing some spectacular chocolate dishes from scratch, a lobster burger truck and ones serving shark and crocodile treats with even a truck specialising in insect dishes as well as tasty dishes from oriental, American, French, Mexican, BBQ trucks and much more.
There will be a host of craft beers on show including Limerick’s Treaty City Beer, back in Ireland fresh after receiving a fantastic reception at the Brussels Food Truck Festival.
