9 Mile Garden, Missouri’s first food truck garden, will open its season on Monday, March 1, operating seven days a week for lunch, dinner and special events. This year, there will be a number of rotating food trucks, an updated draft beer menu at The Canteen and new special events. The Garden is located at 9375 Gravois Road Affton, MO, 63123.

St. Louis’s best and most loved food trucks can be found from 11:00am to 2:00pm for lunch and 5:00pm to 9:00pm for dinner, while the garden will be open to patrons from 11:00am to 11:00pm. During a visit, guests can enjoy The Canteen @ 9 Mile Garden, a modern draft house offering a wide selection of craft and domestic beers from the best of local and national breweries alongside a rotating selection of draft wines, cocktails and cold brew coffee on tap.

The Canteen will be serving happy hour from 4:00 to 6:00pm Sundays through Thursday and a late-night happy hour from 10:00pm to close. The Canteen also features air hockey, foosball, pickleball, cornhole and board games for free.

“We are excited to kick off our 2021 season with a killer line-up of food trucks and special events planned out,” said Brian Hardesty, managing partner of 9 Mile Garden. “There has never been a better time to get outside, in a socially distant environment, and enjoy the incredible features we have in the garden like our 26-foot jumbo screen, live music and family-focused entertainment.”

The venue’s food truck line up for 2021 consists of Doggie Mac’s, Havana’s Cuisine, Sugarfire 64, This N That, Truck Norris, Truckeria Del Valle, Wayno’s International, and Zacchi Truck, to name a few.

While enjoying the array of food trucks, patrons can experience a different event every night of the week. The initial line up for 2021 is:

• Every Monday night Trivia Night at 7pm
