New Slushies truck: Beat the heat with frozen drinks from the Slushies truck on the east side of the ACL Market, which offers three non-alcoholic flavors (or make it boozy by adding your choice of a selection of spirits).

Barton Beach Club Tiki bar: The tropical paradise is back this year, with cocktails from Flor de Cana Rum and poke items from Poke-Poke near the IHG® Hotels & Resorts Stage.

El Patioville: El Patio is back on the east side of Rock Island, serving nachos, chips and dips from their food truck, and parked next to a margarita bar with Aquasol Tequila.
