Taking over the renovated north plaza at the Vancouver Art Gallery (recently renamed šxʷƛ̓ənəq Xwtl’e7énk Square as part of the city’s First Nations reconciliation initiatives), the food truck festival runs Monday, January 21st to Sunday, January 27th.

Be sure to save room for dessert: Cannoli King will be standing by with authentic Italian pastries, while Slavic Rolls turns out crispy baked cinnamon rolls with a variety of decadent fillings.
Plentiful onsite tables mean you can feast with co-workers and friends while your meal is still fresh and hot as can be. Tents provided by sponsor EVO Car Share will ensure potential rain doesn’t dampen the fun.
