The 2023 Food Truck Festival will be held at the Burroughs and Chapin Pavilion Place this weekend. The site of the former Myrtle Beach Pavilion between 8th and 9th avenues north in Myrtle Beach. The address location is 812 N. Ocean Blvd., Myrtle Beach.
“A bunch of local food trucks and some as far away as Maryland participate in this event,” said Henry Bresadola, manager of N.S. Promotions and Events. “Preparation begins months in advance and over several hundred applicants apply to be part of Myrtle Beach Food Truck Festival. We try to go with vendors from the past events that have been patrons”.
There will be food from local and visiting food trucks and restaurants, activities for the kids, live music and plenty of fun for all ages.
“Being careful of not having 20 barbecue trucks but having a wide variety is very important and then there’s the placement of the vendors which is very important” Bresadola said.
There is expected to be 65 food vendors from local and visiting food trucks and restaurants participating in this event. So bring your appetite!
Expected to also be 35 craft vendors, kids activities, and live music at the festival.
Presented by Wicked Weed Brewing out of Asheville the Myrtle Beach Food Truck Festival began in 2017 and became a hit. In 2020 the Food Truck Festival was canceled due to covid.
Admission is $5.00 (children under 12 are free) to attend the Myrtle Beach Food Truck Festival. Admission tickets can be purchased at the gate or in advance.
You can purchase as much food and drink as you wish directly from each truck.
This year’s Food Truck Festival is a three-day event:
Wicked Weed will provide draught beers on tap and several special Sour beer bottles will be available to purchase along with select wines. Nearly 20 different local vendors and artisans will also be at the event.
