Menifee residents enjoyed a variety of food trucks and listened to local musical performances. Kids enjoyed a fun zone and a fun craft booth. After dark, guests enjoyed a sing-along version of the 1939 classic "The Wizard of Oz" at the Menifee Eat 'N Sing Food Truck Festival Saturday at La Ladera Park.

The event, produced by Menifee 24/7 in conjunction with the City of Menifee, was one of the October events scheduled to celebrate the 10-year anniversary of the city's incorporation. Lennar Homes and REMAX/Cynthia Nemelka were sponsors for the festival.
