Chicago Food Truck Festival 2024

Summer is the season of culinary events in Chicago, and the Food Trucks Festival is definitely one of the favorites for locals. The Festival is a family friendly weekend event with plenty of live music and entertainment along the finest mobile eateries taking place annually in the South Loop. About 50 trucks cater almost every cuisine imaginable on Earth, fit for any taste. The food truck lineup provides the biggest choice and diversity in The Windy City. In 2024, organizers add DJs, outdoor games, and an expanded wine and beer list.

The Chicago food truck scene seems to be thriving. Every year, there is a series of similar gatherings attracting people to try something new from the city's best roaming restaurants. A fall edition of the festival features about 20-30 trucks selling tasty food and drinks, accompanied by games and music to keep everyone entertained. The fall fest usually takes place at the LaBagh Woods, Chicago.
