Food, fun, and music will be the fare of the day at Street Eats & Beats later this month.
Salina Area Young Professions (SAYP) annual Street Eats & Beats event is scheduled for 1-5 p.m. Oct. 22 at the 67401 Plaza in Downtown Salina (N. Santa Fe Avenue/W. Ash Street).
Street Eats & Beats is a FREE public event that will include live music, food trucks, a beer garden, and more. Food trucks include Lost In Sauce and Drycreek Buffalo Ranch. Tipsy Traveler Beverage Co. is scheduled to serve in the beer garden.
This year, the event has an exciting twist as the SAYP Lip Sync Battle makes its return after a several year hiatus. Starting at 2 p.m., four local non-profits will perform two lip sync performances in hopes to win the grand prize check. The organizations performing will be the Salina Area United Way, CAPS, Catholic Charities of Central Kansas, and The Salina Art Center.
"We welcome you to come cast your vote at the event for your favorite performance by purchasing voting tickets (all funds raised from these tickets sales will go to their corresponding nonprofit). You will not want to miss this these nonprofits battle it out. Each participating nonprofit will receive a monetary donation from SAYP thanks to the Greater Salina Community Foundations support," SAYP noted in a news release.
Immediately after the Lip Sync Battle concludes, Vegan Shark is scheduled to take the stage.
