Your eyes will again be bigger than your stomachs, Vancouver; Food Cart Fest is back.
Last year, its good times were attested to by an average of 5,000 “hangry” Vancouverites who swarmed Olympic Village every Sunday to sample the street food explosion. And, in its three years of existence, Food Cart Fest has quickly become – like the opening of the Grouse Grind and the invasion of fruit-infused beer – a hotly anticipated marker of summer’s onset.
Admission is $2 but free for Vancity and Car2Go members, and (new this year) to those bringing a non-perishable Food Bank donation. The festival has also declared a zero-waste mandate.
With a rotating lineup of more than 20 street food vendors, many of which are launching their summer menus, we’ll be ordering our meals through the warm months a la Cart.
