Historic Carousel Announces New Weekly Food Truck Night is Coming to Nantasket Beach
For families looking to create summer memories, the Wednesday evening Food Truck Rodeo offers a perfect blend of delicious food, historic charm, and family entertainment.
The historic Paragon Carousel has announced they're adding a new flavor to summer evenings at Nantasket Beach with the introduction of their first-ever Food Truck Rodeo. Running every Wednesday night from July 2nd through August 27th, the event promises to transform the iconic beachfront location into a culinary destination from 5:00 to 8:00 PM. You can expect an impressive lineup of diverse food offerings from popular vendors, including Cheesy Chicks, KC's Curbside Bistro, Cousins Maine Lobster, Sarcastic Swine BBQ, Temperance Pizza Truck, and Wanderlust Global Food. The Food Truck Rodeo nights will also feature family-friendly entertainment, including carousel rides, face painting, and special guest appearances.
Built in 1928 by the Philadelphia Toboggan Company, the Paragon Carousel is one of the few remaining four-wide carousels in Massachusetts and represents the last surviving piece of the original Paragon Park amusement park. As one of less than one hundred grand carousels still operating in the United States, this historic attraction continues to evolve while preserving its nostalgic charm. The Food Truck Rodeo announcement comes on the heels of another exciting development at the carousel. The recent partnership with Hometown Arcade will bring a new arcade facility adjacent to the carousel, further expanding entertainment options for visitors to Nantasket Beach. The opening date has yet to be announced.
For families looking to create summer memories, the Wednesday evening Food Truck Rodeo offers a perfect blend of delicious food, historic charm, and family entertainment. This weekly event may well become a new summer tradition for local residents and visitors alike.
