The city has announced that Food Truck Fridays will return to Downtown Albuquerque in March.
The event kicks off March 8 at Civic Plaza.
Food trucks interested in vending at the event can fill out an application online at cabq.gov/foodtruckfridays.
Applications will be accepted through Feb. 23, and a lottery drawing will select the vendors on Feb. 26.
"To ensure a variety, selected food trucks will be categorized based on their cuisine type, creating a diverse culinary landscape and meeting many dietary needs at each event," a news release said.
