Food Truck Fridays is a MASCO sponsored program that began in the summer of 2016. A variety of vendors are invited to 375 Longwood Avenue from 11am-2pm each Friday from May-September.

For the summer of 2019, two trucks came each Friday: a lunch truck paired with a dessert truck, to make sure that everyone's cravings were satisfied. The vendors and schedule for the summer of 2020 are not yet available, but will be published in the spring of 2020.
