The Food Truck Festival 2019

Overview

This February, leafy Lilydale will come alive for a huge food truck festival yet, all thanks to the minds behind The Food Truck Park.

Set to once again eclipse the collective's regular events in Preston and at Village Cinemas Coburg Drive-In, the Food Truck Festival will see the city's best four-wheeled food vendors descend on Melba Park across five huge days.

Running from Wednesday, February 20 to Sunday, February 24, the culinary lineup will represent the most popular food trucks from each corner of Melbourne, with the full lineup set to be revealed closer to the event. And you can expect to be totally spoilt for choice, with a huge array of vendors slinging everything from burgers and Asian-inspired eats, to vegan fare and craft beers. Here's hoping for the return of Sweet Lane, too — a festival precinct dedicated entirely to desserts.

Rounding out the edible goodness will be a program of art, family-friendly entertainment and other fun, with entry free across the entire festival. It will be open from 5–10pm on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, and 11am–10pm on Saturday and Sunday.
