Slider Throwdown
As our signature event, the Slider Throwdown brings together some of the Valley’s best food trucks for a friendly competition. The Slider Throwdown happens each November and includes live entertainment, children’s activities and a silent auction.
This family-friendly event usually takes place on a Sunday afternoon and gives event-goers a great head start to the holiday shopping season. Details for the 2020 Slider Throwdown are still in the works. If you own or manage a business and are interested in either sponsoring the event or donating an item to the silent auction, please contact our outreach coordinator, Kim Searles at ksearles@affcf.org.
