Richmond Food Truck Festival and Party

The Richmond Fusion Food Festival is one of the fun and tasty events presented by the Greater Vancouver Food Truck Festival. The organization hosts parties in different locations across the Lower Mainland in the spring and summer. In 2022, the event made its way to Richmond for three days at the end of April and beginning of May. The 2023 edition takes place in August.

There are several things to do at the food festival. The events features 14 or more food trucks on site on each of its three days in 2023. There is also a market with a carefully selected lineup of local vendors. Guests are able to shop comfortably knowing that all purchases at the event supported small local businesses.

Another highlight of the event is always the live entertainment. Performances at the block parties help provide a lively atmosphere.

Other similar events that took place in 2023 were in Chilliwack (April 29th & 30th), Coquitlam (May 13th & 14th) and Surrey (June 3rd & 4th). On June 10th there was also Langley Community Day.
