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 is a great fun free entry event to participate in Downtown Vancouver.
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 follow them on Instagram to see which trucks are on the plaza.

I went last year and it was such a fun experience. While the festival was a bit slimmed down due to COVID restrictions, I’m glad to see them back bigger and better than ever. I love that there is such a varied selection of food trucks to choose from. I’ve previously tried a few of these vendors and they were all delicious.
