For the first time this year, Zocalo food truck park in Walker's Pointis hosting a watch party.

"The finals has changed the city into more of a party then I ever imagined," Zocalo bartender Patrick Murphy said.

Murphy said the food truck park will put up a big screen for people to watch the game, and attendees have the opportunity to bring their families and not worry about 20,000 fans rubbing elbows with one another.

Beyond watching just the game, local vendors have an opportunity to score in sales. People have the option of seven different food trucks.

FoxFire kitchen manager Hayden Drews said it's been a great year to be a Bucks fan, and now with a watch party happening, a chance for local vendors to showcase their craft.

"More people, more sales - that's the best way to put it," Drews said and laughed. "We are expecting it to be insane, very busy. We're ready for it, we've been prepping all day."
