The Ultimate Foodie Experience

As Ohio’s premiere food truck event, the Columbus Food Truck Festival brings together all the most popular food trucks in the state. Food trucks of all kinds will take over Bicentennial Park, Washington Boulevard, Genoa Park, and the Rich Street Bridge.

This two-day food frenzy will feature more than 60 of the best food trucks in the Midwest. Grab some grub and settle in for a wide variety of events taking place throughout the festival, including the Nationwide Children’s Hospital Great Duck Race.

This charitable event raises money for children’s hospitals across the country. Sit back and watch with your food or get in on the action by buying a plastic duck to enter the race. Every dollar that goes towards entering a duck in the race will directly benefit children’s hospitals across the country.

The 2019 Columbus Food Truck Festival will also include all kinds of live music from Music Loves Ohio, another charitable nonprofit that works to make musical outlets accessible to all. In the past, they’ve provided free instruments, funded trips to summer music camps, and more.

The festival will also feature a wide variety of arts and crafts vendors for you to browse. Support these local businesses while you snack on something delicious.
