10th Annual Everett Food Truck Fest this Weekend alongside Upper Left Beerfest + Everett Makers Market
If you eat food, this festival is for you!
This Friday, August 11, and Saturday, August 12, mark the 10th year of the Everett Food Truck Festival, which is open to the public and free to attend.
20+ food trucks will converge in Downtown Everett for your grubbing pleasure.
Everett Makers Market will have 40+ artisan vendors.
And Everett’s Upper Left Beerfest (21+) will have plenty of beers and ciders to sample, along with DJ Forrest Gump on Friday and a main stage with live music on Saturday.
While you may be familiar with the Food Truck Fest’ from prior years, here are a few news things to note for 2023:
LOCATION OF FOOD + MAKERS: Has moved immediately South of Beerfest (same location as the Everett Farmers Market). This will help integrate all of the fun.
SCHEDULE OF FOOD + MAKERS: Has expanded to have the same schedule as Beerfest. We’ve added one dozen food trucks on Friday and some additional trucks for Saturday (closer to 2-dozen) to hopefully help cut down on the long lines. Still, make sure to bring your patience!
STREET MAGIC: Catch Magic Monty Reed performing street magic! Friday, 8/11: 4-7 pm, Saturday, 8/12: 12-3 pm.
COMMUNITY OUTREACH: Saturday, we’ll also have a community outreach area with local organizations providing some extra activities for the kiddos.
AND DON’T FORGET YOUR PICNIC BLANKET! The new location provides plenty of picnic space, whether it’s the grassy area on the corner of Wetmore and Wall, the grass and plaza seating on the North side of the County campus, or the courtyard on the East side of the County Campus next to the mission building bell tower. There are lots of options to spread out for a delicious picnic.
