ABOUT US: (Our 1st Annual Food Truck Festival in April 2018)



Ironbound is creating a hub where people can gather to enjoy art, entertainment, locally brewed craft beer and a variety of foods from our ever-changing Food Truck Emporium. We’re located on Mount Vernon Street in the Arts & Culture District of Lynn, Massachusetts. 

OUR MISSION:

To create memorable experiences and improve the quality of life for residents, future residents and visitors.

ABOUT THE NEIGHBORHOOD

Mount Vernon St. has been in desperate need for revitalization after serving as the former “Central Square” hub. Ironbound Northshore Neighborhood has uplifted the community and attracted thousands of patrons and community members through food trucks, block parties, street performers and has developed community partnerships with Beyond Walls, Vinyl Nights with LynnHappens, Lynn Chamber of Commerce,  local DJ’s, artists, and many more. Ironbound Northshore Neighborhood has made Mount Vernon St. become one of the most exciting spots in Lynn to visit.

OUR AUDIENCE:

People from all backgrounds from Lynn as well as the North Shore area will be coming to Lynn just for the block party! They are students, artists, young professionals, activists, community leaders, and prospective patrons that are thrilled to see local businesses engage in building positive environments.
