Logan Square Food Truck Social

LOGAN SQUARE — Logan Square Food Truck Social is returning to the neighborhood for the second consecutive year  — a few months earlier and one day longer.

The food and music party is set for Aug. 25-27, organizers Optimum Events and Empty Bottle Presents announced Wednesday.

Up to 24 food trucks and a host of local bands will take over Humboldt Boulevard between Armitage and Bloomingdale avenues 5-10 p.m. Friday; 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Saturday;  and 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday.

This year, Mike's Hard Lemonade will sponsor an installation that includes a photo booth, DJ stage — complete with a massive wall of speakers called Royal Hands Sound System — and lounge areas. Festgoers will be eligible to win prizes if they use the festival Snapchat filter.

Attendees are asked to make a $5 donation, but $20 will get you a sampler ticket, which includes six sample-sized portions from the food trucks and/or sample-sized cups of beer from Revolution Brewing with an ID.

A portion of the proceeds will go to Illinois Food Truck Owners Association and local nonprofit La Casa Norte.

The inaugural festival was largely successful. Gray skies and a Cubs World Series game likely contributed to Sunday's low attendance.

Below are this year's participating food trucks and restaurants:

5411 Empanadas
Aztec Daves
Beavers Coffee & Donuts
Boo Coo Roux
Bop Bar Korean
Bruges Brothers
