Classic hip-hop veterans Goodie Mob will take the stage; Bay-area legend Too $hort will also be in the house and the iconic Kumbia Kings headline the night. Plus, additional music acts and over 30 of Fresno and the Central Valley's finest taco trucks are expected to participate, competing for both judges' and people's choice trophies.
