The local small business owners taking part in the event are super excited.
"Keeping it local is also allowing us to expand the businesses here and let the people know that, 'Hey, we're not just here on the 4th of July,'" explained Kariba Pasha, who helps run her family food truck, Larger Than Lemons specializing in hand-crafted lemonade drinks and more.
"We have the spot at the Farmer's Market in Raleigh. We open it Thursday through Sunday, and we have this lovely lemonade trailer that we like to bring out to the local community and just get the flavors out there so everybody can taste our delicious lemonade," Pasha added.
Aarin Pawa, who owns the Sweet Treats of NC food truck is also excited to be among the food trucks added to the city's Independence Day celebration.
"It's great because it supports local businesses," Pawa said. "It promotes fresh local products, and especially since our truck, we love using local products like apples and strawberries. We get to also give other local businesses business by doing what we do."
