Eating from a truck these days is becoming the norm in Vancouver. But, with so many trucks spread throughout the city, it’s hard to visit them all. Enter Food Cart Fest, a gathering of the city’s best trucks in one location to satisfy whatever you may be craving — sweet, spicy, cheesy or savoury.

This year’s line-up includes:

  • Aussie Pie Guy
  • Blue Smoke BBQ
  • Chili Tank
  • Didi’s Greek
  • Dougie Dog
  • Feastro
  • Finest at Sea
  • Guanaco
  • Holy Perogy
  • JJ’s Trucketeria
  • The Juice Truck
  • The Kaboom Box
  • Le Tigre
  • Mogu
  • Mom’s Grilled Cheese
  • PazzaRella
  • Roaming Dragon
  • Soho Road
  • Street Meet
  • Tacofino
  • Taser Grilled Cheese
  • The Reef Runner
  • Vij’s Railway Express
  • Yolk’s Breakfast
  • Ze Bite

In addition to all the tasty treats, there will be live entertainment, family-friendly activities and educational workshops on urban gardening.

Upwards of 20 mobile kitchens will occupy the space between the Cambie Street Bridge and Olympic Village (215 W 1st Ave, to be exact) on the south side of False Creek. Getting there is easy with the Olympic Village Canada Line station just a brisk stroll away, by bus or Aquabus.

Food Cart Fest recurs every Sunday between 12:00 pm and 5:00 pm this summer starting June 22nd, 2014. Admission is $2.00, but it’s free if you bank with Vancity or are a member of Car2Go or bring a non-perishable food item for the Greater Vancouver Food Bank Society (or if you’re under the age of 13). Visit the Food Cart Fest web site for additional details.
