Food trucks have become quite the craze in Reno Tahoe! Mobile kitchens are serving just about everything around town… from Asian cuisine to fresh gelato, gourmet wraps and burgers to craft beers. And now that the warm weather is here, you’re probably ready for some fresh air and sunshine so these food truck events are the cuisine and outdoor seating you’ve been waiting for.
Reno Street Food, also known as “Food Truck Friday,” has become one of the largest food truck events in the nation. This party in the park features more than 30 food trucks, as well as craft beer, wine and mixed drink vendors. This family-friendly event is hosted at Idlewild Park, which has plenty of grass and room for children to play or to lay out a blanket as local musicians provide free entertainment. Reno Street Food is free to the public and begins on June 4, 2021 and takes place every Friday from 4-9 p.m. through August 27. Learn more about which trucks will be rolling into the park each week, activities for kids and where to park on their Facebook page.
Feed the Camel is Reno’s weekly hump day food truck bazaar. Local food trucks convene under the Keystone Bridge, serving unique specialties, along with local beer. This event is held at the McKinley Arts and Culture Center in the Riverwalk District, an easy walk from downtown Reno, next to the Truckee River. Feed the Camel runs through the summer, every Wednesday from 5-8:30 p.m. Find out which food trucks will be in attendance each week on their Facebook page. (And no, there are no camels to feed. Sorry!)
