Josh Cares, a local nonprofit that provides companionship and comfort to children hospitalized in critical and chronic care units at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center, hosts its second annual lunchtime Food Truckin’ for Josh Cares festival. More than 10 diverse area food trucks will be on Fountain Square — from New Orleans to Go and C’est Cheese to streetpops and Dojo Gelato — providing entrees and desserts, which will be judged by a panel of celebrity judges (Elizabeth Mariner of Express Cincinnati; Ilene Ross, chef, editor of 513eats.com and contributing writer for CityBeat; and Jeremy Lieb, executive chef at Boca) in a contest to win the Golden Spatula Award.
11 a.m.-2 p.m. Wednesday. $2 food tickets. Fountain Square, Fifth and Vine streets, Downtown, joshcares.org.
