Join us on Saturday, July 22 for some lakeside munchies at the second annual OnMilwaukee Food Truck Fest. Choose from a menu of 20 trucks and enjoy the live music, games and entertainment. It's the biggest gathering of the best food on four wheels.
Do you own a food truck? Do you serve up top-notch food that you’d like to introduce to a bigger audience of mobile food fans?
If so, we’d love you to join us at our second MKE Food Truck Fest, a true celebration of mobile eats. During the festival, you will have the opportunity to sell your most popular items to a group of hungry food truck fans.
This year’s MKE Food Truck Fest will take place at Henry Maier Festival Park, 200 N. Harbor Dr. on Saturday, July 23 from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Last year’s event sold out quickly, and we are expecting the same to be true this year.
All trucks must hold a current mobile food license and a certificate of insurance in order to participate.
For more information or to sign up for the event, email MkeFoodTruckFest@summerfest.com and specify your interest in MKE Food Truck Fest.
