European Street Food Festival

Overview

So yes, all your friends are off to jaunt around Europe and you're slogging out winter in New Zealand — but you can still enjoy a little dolce vita with a lineup of delicious eats coming to Auckland this week.

On Friday, July 1 and Saturday, July, 2, the Food Truck Collective is holding a huge European street food festival in the Kumeū Showgrounds, showcasing the best Euro-centric street eats, wines from The Hunting Lodge, live music and entertainment for the whole family. Basically, it's a taste of Europe in west Auckland — no jetlag required.

Running from 5pm-9pm, the festival is free to enter so you can save your pennies for filing your tummies. On the lineup is a massive array of Auckland's local food vendors, including Double Dutch Fries (after all, it wouldn't be an Auckland food truck night without them), sweet treats from Lalele Organic Gelato and Sweet As Crepes, and delicious hearty fare from Drifters Pizza, The Hungry Swine and Let's Brezel.

Rug up warm and head west for a delicious bite of Europe in Kumeū.
