Throughout the weekend, there will be live music and entertainment, shopping, craft beers and family-friendly entertainment. For the second year, the Greater Pittsburgh Food Truck Festival will have sampler tickets for sale, which allow visitors to sample smaller portions at more than 25 participating trucks.įriday will be a night of family fun at the festival, with games, live racing and wiener dog races. Food trucks became popular in the last decade, and have remained so, thanks to their mobility and the uniqueness of their offerings. The first food truck festival was in 2016. “But spend some time with us one of those days.” “We still hope that people go to the family cookout,” DeAngelo explained.

Carole DeAngelo, the director of advertising and events for the four newspapers, amplified the point, noting that not only will the festival have the greatest variety of food of any festival in the region, but also has a strong lineup of entertainment over its two days. The festival will have “the best food on four wheels,” in the words of Jessica Tennant, events manager for the Observer-Reporter, the Herald-Standard, The Almanac and the Greene County Messenger.
