Chilliwack Party in the Park Food Truck Event

Mo Bacon Food Truck

The Chilliwack Party in the Park is a Greater Vancouver Food Truck Festival event with live music, a market and food trucks. Admission is free.

In 2024 the event took place on the weekend of May 4th and 5th at Central Community Park in Chilliwack. In addition to food, entertainment and artisan vendors, there is a beer garden.

TIPS:

  • If you wanted to experience the event with a bit of a Cinco de Mayo Mexican theme, May 5th was the day to go.
  • If you couldn’t make it that weekend, or wanted even more food truck food, then the Burnaby Food Truck Festival at BCIT on the Mother’s Day weekend of May 11th and 12th was the place to be.
