Festival set for Ontario

I.E. Food Truck Fest has been organized for June 18 in the parking lot of Citizens Business Bank Arena. At least 50 food trucks will participate.

The event is seen as a solution to the county's ordinance that prohibits mobile eateries.

"We're excited to have the community finally see all the excitement around this type of mobile eatery," arena spokeswoman Sue Oxarart said.

Officials from the arena's operators, AEG, will promote the event.

Participants will be named at a later date, Oxarart said. Organizers have already confirmed that 25 food truck companies will take part.

The festival will also include a skate demo provided by Active Ride Shop, live music and DJs as well as activities for children, Oxarart said.

Tickets can be purchased at www.ticketmaster.com - a fee will apply - or at the arena's box office, 4000 E. Ontario Center Parkway.

VIP tickets are being sold for $25, and allow the ticket holder to enter the festival an hour before it opens to the public.

General-admission tickets are $10, and tickets purchased before June 15 are $8.
