Hallelujah, spring is nearly here. When it does arrive, it will bring the first in what is being promised as a weekly Gathering. The now-famous food truck festival is beginning a regular schedule, which you can follow on the newly launched website or on Facebook.

On March 22, the event will take place as the Castle at Keswick and 34th Street in Hampden, and will serve as the kickoff to the 2013 season. As has been the case before, you can pick up an all you can drink wristbands for the 5–10 PM fest — they run $15 in advance (here) or $20 on site.

Music will be provided by Soul Centered, and we also hear there will be free hugs for anyone who wants one. On the food side, look for most of the regulars and a few newcomers, too. Check out the truck list below and get psyched for spring.
