Food Trucks at Burnaby Block Party

The Greater Vancouver Food Truck Festival hosts various food truck-related events including, sometimes, Food Truck Fest at BCIT in the spring.

The Burnaby event happened at BCIT in April a couple of years ago, but it was called the “Burnaby Block Party” then. It returned as “Food Truck Fest at BCIT” on the Mother’s Day Weekend in May last year. The event isn’t happening in 2025, but it might in the future. Exact details are to be confirmed.
