Event organisers expect the 10th anniversary of Hamilton's Gourmet in the Gardens to be the most popular to date

Thousands are expected to attend today's opening of the summer-long attraction.

The event transforms Hamilton Gardens Rhododendron Lawn, into a vibrant hub of local food trucks and live music.

Food Truck Events' Tania Simpson attributes the buzz to more than simply environment and scenery.

She says everybody involved is passionate, which makes for a relaxed vibe and a great experience from the moment you arrive.
