About the event

Food Truck Festivals of America (FTFA) is the nation’s leading Food Truck & Craft Beverage Festival company — the biggest and best in the U.S.! 🚚🥤🍻 Founded in 2011 right here in New England, FTFA made history as the first company in America to bring the food truck craze to life through large-scale festivals. What started as a few local Boston-area events has exploded into a coast-to-coast celebration of gourmet food trucks, craft beverages, music, and community fun. Over the years, we’ve hosted more than 300 major festivals — from Massachusetts to New Mexico — and we’re still growing strong! Our mission is simple: 👉 Celebrate small business owners behind the wheels of America’s best food trucks. 👉 Create unforgettable experiences that bring people together around great food, great drinks, and great vibes. We don’t just throw events — we create destination experiences that showcase the best food trucks, the most exciting craft beverages, and the amazing communities that love them. So, the only question is... 🔥 Who wants to become a FOODIE OFFICIAL PARTNER and connect your brand with Food Truck Festivals of America? 🔥 Let’s make something delicious happen together!
