Minneapolis Food Truck Festival - August 2 at Father Hennepin Bluff Park

Festivities Include over 40 Food Trucks, Craft Sips and Cocktails, Live Music, Games for All Ages, a Doggie Station with Adoptions, and Fundraiser for Feed My Starving Children

The MN Food Truck Festival®, the Upper Midwest’s largest gathering of food trucks, returns to its original city with the Minneapolis Food Truck Festival happening Saturday, August 2, at the newly renovated Father Hennepin Bluff Park, located at 420 Main Street SE along the Mississippi River in the historic Saint Anthony Main neighborhood.

The festival runs from 11:00am to 9:00pm and is free to attend and open to the public.

The Minneapolis Food Truck Festival is the second in a series of three summer events hosted by MN Food Truck Festival. The gathering will feature over 40 food trucks, nonfood mobile vendors, and a Craft Sips station offering cold brews, seltzers, and cocktails including the event’s new signature MN Food Truck Festival® craft-batch vodka drink. The lively lineup of live music includes Kingsview, Danny Tanner & The Full House, and You Oughta Know. Dog rescue organization Rescue Network will be there with adorable pooches for adoption, and there will be games and activities for all ages.

Cuisine from around the world will be represented, and nonfood vendors will offer items like fashion and accessories, a mobile garden center, vintage vinyl, panoramic photo booth, permanent jewelry, airbrush tattoos, and a mechanical bull. The event is also dog-friendly, and guests are welcome to bring their four-legged family members!

Per Jess Fast, co-organizer, MN Food Truck Festival®, “We are so excited to return to our roots in Minneapolis this summer. It’s where our MN Food Truck Festivals began! Our new location is so beautiful and we’re proud to bring the energy back to a community that’s been with us from the start.”

Music Schedule:

11:00am-2:00pm  Kingsview 
  6:00pm-9:00pm  You Oughta Know

 

Since 2016, the MN Food Truck Festival® has raised over half a million meals to support global hunger relief efforts for children. The MN Food Truck Festival summer series will wrap up at the Anoka Food Truck Festival on Saturday, August 16. For more information visit www.mnfoodtruckfestival.com.
