Get your appetite ready for August 16 and the Anoka Food Truck Festival, taking place from 11 am – 9 pm. There is NO admission fee, and with over 50 different trucks on hand selling almost every kind of food that we can think of, I know where I’ll be for lunch!

The Food Truck Festival will invade Downtown Anoka for its 8th year on Saturday, August 16th. With food, live music, and beer, this is one of the Twin Cities most popular and delicious free admission events.

You’ll be able to sample food truck delicacies all day long, with hours from 11 am – 9 pm.

More than 50 food trucks will be selling their unique street eats with global cuisines ranging from Maine lobster rolls to Paella and Pierogis along with sweet treats including brownies, donuts, ice cream and so much more. Food trucks will line up on Jackson Street between 1st and 3rd Avenues (right near city hall).

In addition to the de-lish food trucks, the festival will include live music on the MN Lottery Stage, craft brews, games and giveaways and something just for four-legged attendants!
