The second-Friday food truck rally known as the Gathering is on a hiatus, but trucks will be gathering on the Inner Harbor's West Shore Park as part of Saturday afternoon's Winter Wonderland event. The Silver Platter, the Gypsy Queen, Kooper's Chowhound Burger Wagon, Souper Freak, Creperie Breizh, Cazbar and Iced Gems are confirmed.
The family friendly event will include pony rides and live music. Crafts for children will take place under a heated tent. That's all from 1 to 5 p.m. At 5 p.m., a community lantern parade will proceed from the West Shore Park to the Harborplace amphitheater. Santa Claus will join the procession, as will, you guessed it, Mambo Combo.
Then, at 7 p.m., the Power Plant holiday light show will have its seasonal debut. All of the festivities are part of It's a Waterfront Life, the Waterfront Partnership's new slouching-toward-solstice celebration.
