A Festival of Food Trucks

Moms keen on getting a foodie-fix know that the best way to explore our city’€™s street food is to do some one-stop chomping at the annual Food Cart Fest.
Now in its second year, this event takes place every Sunday until September 22 from 12 to 6 pm on a vacant piece of land near Olympic Village and Cambie Bridge (215 West 1st Avenue).

As many as 20 trucks gather, and the selection of cuisines is diverse; from Indian food to seafood, Middle Eastern meatballs to fancily flavourful popsicles.

Kids will love a natural hot dog from Dougie Dog, a grilled cheese sandwich from Taser or a pizza from PazzaRella (which can easily be shared).

Moms will love The Juice Truck for their Remedy juice or their Avocado Pineapple smoothie. And don’€™t miss Tacofino, offering up Californian Baja-style cooking with international influences. You can’€™t go wrong with one of their Fish Tacos.

For this culinary adventure, don’€™t even contemplate skipping sun hats, sunscreen or sunglasses for every family member. There is very little shade at this spot, and if the sun is blazing, it will be a long afternoon indeed.

There’€™s also live music, as well as free face painting and a bouncy castle for kids.

Good to Know: There’€™s a bank machine on site, but it’s still best to bring cash. Remember your Vancity card if you have one, since members get in for free. For everyone else, admission is $2 with a max family rate of $5 (kids under 13 are free).

We’ve got more recommendations for you in our list of 5 Summer Festivals in Vancouver.
