Good Vibes Food Truck Festival

Good Vibes Food Truck Fest is coming to the Southgate Farmers Market in Elkhart on July 18, 2026, from 3-9 PM, and it's going to be a night to remember. Hosted by Resonant Vibe, a first-year youth mentoring nonprofit serving families across Elkhart and St. Joseph Counties, this inaugural festival brings together the best of local food, live music, community spirit, and good old-fashioned summer fun — all in one place, all in one evening.
Food, Food, and More Food
With 14 food trucks and additional food and drink tents on-site, your taste buds are in for a serious adventure. Whether you're craving something savory, sweet, or totally unexpected, our lineup of local vendors has you covered. Pick up a Food Truck Passport ($20 for adults, $10 for kids) and unlock samples from participating vendors throughout the evening. It's the most delicious way to experience everything Good Vibes has to offer.
Live Music All Night Long
The vibes don't stop with the food. Good Vibes Food Truck Fest features a full evening of live music that spans genres and generations. The Tolson Center Youth Choir brings heart and soul to the stage with powerful voices that will stop you in your tracks. Then get ready to feel the energy shift when Massasauga takes over — a sibling trio delivering high-octane punk, metal, and hard rock that will absolutely blow the roof off the outdoor stage. Closing out the night is Vegative, the electronic project of producer Rune DeMeester, who will bring the fest to a pulsing, unforgettable finish. We're also in conversations with additional youth performers to round out the lineup — stay tuned for announcements. This lineup was built to move you — literally.
Beer Garden
For the adults in the crowd, the Good Vibes Beer Garden is your spot to kick back, sip something cold, and soak in the atmosphere. Featuring brews from Goshen Brewing Company and Crooked Ewe, two of the region's most beloved craft breweries, the beer garden is the perfect place to catch up with friends, cheer on cornhole competitors, and enjoy a well-earned evening out.
Cornhole Tournament
Think you've got what it takes? Sign up for the Good Vibes Cornhole Tournament and put your skills to the test. Choose your bracket — the Backyard Bracket is perfect for casual players who just want to have fun and enjoy the competition, while the Competitive Bracket is bracket-style, serious, and has bragging rights on the line. Gather your partner, pick your level, and see if you can claim the crown.
Kids Zone and Inflatables
Good Vibes is a family event through and through, and the kids zone proves it. A bounce house and slide combo, plus a kids obstacle course, will keep your little ones entertained for hours. An outside inflatables company is handling all the fun, so parents can relax knowing the kids are having the time of their lives while you enjoy the food and music. It's a win all around.
Backpack Giveaway
In the true spirit of Resonant Vibe's mission, Good Vibes Food Truck Fest will include a backpack giveaway for youth in the community. As summer winds down and back-to-school season approaches, we want to make sure kids are showing up to the classroom ready to learn and ready to thrive. This giveaway is just one small way we're putting community care into action.
Nonprofit Village and Community Partners
The fest isn't just about food and fun — it's about connection. Stop by the nonprofit village near the entrance to meet Resonant Vibe and learn more about the R.I.S.E. Youth Mentoring Program launching in August 2026. Say hello to the Elkhart Public Library Book Bus, pick up something to read, and discover all the incredible resources your local library has to offer. You'll also find vendors offering wellness services, unique goods, and community resources throughout the grounds.
About Resonant Vibe
Resonant Vibe was founded to fill a critical gap in our community after the closure of the local Big Brothers Big Sisters chapter left hundreds of youth and families without access to mentoring support. In our first year, we've been building the infrastructure, relationships, and programming to make long-term, meaningful mentorship a reality for kids across Elkhart and St. Joseph Counties. The R.I.S.E. Youth Mentoring Program — our flagship initiative — launches in August 2026, and Good Vibes Food Truck Fest is how we're celebrating that milestone with the community that made it possible.
Admission and Tickets
Admission to Good Vibes Food Truck Fest is a $5 suggested donation for adults. Kids in FREE. Food Truck Passports are available for $20 (adult) and $10 (kids) and are the best way to make the most of your evening.
