Get ready to taste your way through over 50 of the Midwest’s top gourmet food trucks, each serving up mouthwatering creations you won’t find anywhere else. New this year, families can also enjoy an expanded lineup of kids’ activities and a dedicated Kids Zone on Saturday, making it a perfect weekend outing for all ages. Beyond the incredible food, festival-goers can groove to live music all weekend long, shop a curated collection of handcrafted goods from local makers, and discover one-of-a-kind finds from our favorite retail partners.Each year, our vibrant home at the Franklin County Fairgrounds welcomes more than 25,000 excited visitors, filling Hilliard, Ohio, with the unforgettable energy and community spirit our city loves!
“The Columbus Food Truck Festival has grown into a signature event for the region—uniting foodies, families, and music lovers for unforgettable flavors and vibrant entertainment,” said Chas Kaplan, founder and festival organizer.
What began at the Columbus Commons in 2011 quickly became a can’t-miss tradition. After outgrowing our original home, we moved to the Scioto Mile in 2017, took a brief pause in 2020, and successfully relaunched at the Franklin County Fairgrounds in 2021. Now, as we celebrate 15 incredible years, we’re thrilled to return once again to the fairgrounds—one amazing location, showcasing the very best gourmet food trucks the Midwest has to offer.
