Tucson Foodie and Casino Del Sol will bring together over 20 Tucson food trucks epic events with food, music, and community at AVA Amphitheater.
The Experience
This celebration of Tucson’s incredible food truck culture has lined a DJ, who will spin from the AVA Amphitheater stage.
Bring your appetite and settle into the amphitheater’s shaded seating with a drink from the bar while enjoying the music and atmosphere. It’s the perfect way to experience Tucson’s thriving food truck scene all in one place.
Why We’re Doing This
Tucson has more food trucks per capita than cities like LA and Austin, yet they’re harder to find because they don’t cluster in pods the way they do elsewhere. That means some of the best food in town is rolling around the city, waiting to be discovered.
We’re making it easier by bringing them all together for a day. Food trucks have always played a huge role in Tucson’s culinary evolution — some even go on to open brick-and-mortar spots. One of my favorites, Antojo Poblano, started as a truck before becoming a full-fledged restaurant. Who’s next? You might just find your new favorite here.
