Let the Good Times Roll: Street Food City is Back!
The 11th edition of Dine Out Vancouver Festival’s signature food truck festival returns January 21 – 29
The street food fest that locals have been eagerly anticipating is soon to make a mouth-watering return!
Dine Out Vancouver Festival’s Street Food City will once again welcome thousands to šxʷƛ̓ənəq Xwtl’e7énk Square on the north side of the Vancouver Art Gallery to sample a collection of food trucks and carts in one convenient location. The 11th edition of this beloved culinary tradition takes place Saturday, January 21 to Sunday, January 29 – this year with extended hours and an expanded vendor lineup.
This year’s Street Food City boasts 17 participating food trucks dishing up an array of cuisines including: Filipino eats; Sicilian-style fried risotto balls; plant-based Mediterranean comfort food; traditional fish & chips; gourmet mac n’ cheese, and more. The trucks will rotate throughout the festival, so you’ll want to check @streetfoodvancouver daily to see which trucks are on the plaza.
Tents provided by sponsor EVO Car Share will ensure that festival-goers can embrace the rain while fueling up, and local radio stations will be onsite (January 21 and 29) to add to the lively beat.
Destination Vancouver, StreetFood Vancouver Society, Evo Car Share and Downtown Van are proud to present this informal branch of Dine Out that will liven the downtown core in a vibrant and spacious outdoor setting. What’s more, The Lantern City will feature a display of lanterns in front of the Vancouver Art Gallery steps concurrently with Street Food City, which is sure to take the ambiance up a notch. Presented by LunarFest, the lantern installation will feature artists from the diverse communities of Vancouver.
