2023 Columbus Food Truck Festival: A Weekend of Fun, Food, and Festivities!
The 12th Annual Columbus Food Truck Festival returns August 19th – 20th, 2023, to the Franklin County Fairgrounds. This event celebrates a vibrant and diverse food truck scene, local artists, craftsmen, small independent retailers, local bands, and solo musicians. The festival, now in its 12th year, has grown to become one of the largest food truck festivals in the country.
Thousands visit from all over Central Ohio and the surrounding region to sample a wide range of cuisines, from classic American fare to international street food. Attendees can expect to find everything from BBQ and burgers to tacos, sushi, and vegan and vegetarian options.
One thing that makes the Columbus Food Truck Festival so unique is the opportunity to try various foods in one place. With so many food trucks, attendees can sample dishes they may not have tried before or discover a new favorite. We recently compiled a list of 25+ popular food trucks in Columbus, and many will be attending.
The festival also provides a platform for local food entrepreneurs to showcase their culinary skills and build their businesses. Many food truck owners are small business owners passionate about their craft and love sharing their food with the community.
