Plans for the 13th Downtown Food Truck Festival in downtown Little Rock are underway!

The 2024 festival will be Sunday, September 22nd from 11 am to 6 pm in downtown Little Rock. We would like to offer you the opportunity to perform at this great festival!

The Festival will include over 60 food trucks and vendors situated along Main Street and Capitol Avenue in the heart of downtown. Attendees will also enjoy family-friendly activities, games, entertainment, and beverages. The Downtown Food Truck Festival was awarded Festival of the Year at the Arkansas Festival & Events Association’s 2019 ALFIE Awards. Entrance to the Festival is completely free!

The event is a project of the Downtown Little Rock Partnership (DLRP) and the Main Street Revitalization Committee with a mission of bringing people and activity to downtown Little Rock.

Performance location and time will be assigned a week prior to the festival. Each entertainer will receive an e-packet with his or her particular performance information including how to get to the performance area. The performance areas will include blocks on Capitol Ave from Chester to Woodlane.
