Lunch Options at Houstonfest

In 2020, we had the Sauer Kraut Food Truck (German food), the Berlin Food Factory (German food), and the Kabob Cafe on Wheels (Persian/Mediterranean food).  Heights High School also had a concession stand.  We will likely have similar arrangements in 2022.  More information will appear here as it becomes available.
