<h1>Atlanta: The South&rsquo;s Best Food &amp; Music Destination</h1>
What do CNN, Coca-Cola, Delta Airlines, Home Depot and UPS all have in common? Other than being multibillion-dollar corporations, they&rsquo;re all based in Atlanta! However, in addition to being a thriving thriving business community, many historians consider this bustling cultural melting pot as the birthplace of the Civil Rights Movement, where Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Congressman John Lewis and several other influential leaders led the movement. You can visit the National Center for Civil Human Rights and the Martin Luther King, Jr. National Historic Site to learn more about Atlanta&rsquo;s role in the Civil Rights Movement. The art and music scene here is legendary, so unsurprisingly, so is the cuisine. Atlantans love their southern food (yes, we&rsquo;re looking at you, fried chicken, peach cobbler, sweet tea and barbecue) but they wholeheartedly embrace all sorts of international and ethnic cuisine. Fortunately for us, that means Atlanta&rsquo;s food truck scene is thriving, and you can find just about any delicious street food here!&nbsp;
We can&rsquo;t talk about the ATL without mentioning its role in hip-hop music. While hip-hop may have originated in the Bronx, it didn&rsquo;t take this diverse city long to figure out how to stamp its soul-minded influence on the genre. Legendary ATL hip-hop bands and artists such as the OutKast, Ludacris, Gucci Mane, Future, Migos, Crime Mob, Killer Mike, Young Thug, Childish Bambino, Young Jeezy and others blew things up in the hip-hop world. A-Town also knows how to PAR-TAY, proven by the number of music and food festivals in the ITP (inside the perimeter highways encircling downtown) and the OTP (outside the perimeter).&nbsp;
<h2>Atlanta&rsquo;s Hottest Food and Music Festivals</h2>
Atlantans can find their favorite street food at many spots around the city, especially in<a href="https://www.midtownatl.com/life/shop-and-dine/food-trucks"> Midtown</a>, where three locations have been designated for food trucks. Craft breweries, office buildings, community parks and shopping centers are also roaming kitchen hot spots. However, we&rsquo;re going to focus on some of A-town&rsquo;s best foodie-centric events.&nbsp;

<h1>Columbus &mdash; THE Place to Try New Foods &amp; Savor Its Food Truck Scene</h1>
There&rsquo;s a reason why Columbus is a hot spot for national restaurant chains to test new menu items &mdash; Ohio&rsquo;s capital city likes to eat out &mdash; a lot! This Midwestern gem is brimming with a diverse, young, highly educated population, partly due to the Ohio State University Buckeyes and dozens of other colleges that call C-Bus home. Savvy restaurant marketers know that this eclectic mix of residents is willing to try new foods, including our favorite kind: street food. In a city that produced celebrities such as The Food Network&rsquo;s Guy Fieri, fast food chains (Wendy&rsquo;s, Buffalo Wild Wings and White Castle) and a robust mix of ethnic cuisine, this town has a long, delicious relationship with food. Fortunately, fantastic food trucks roam all over this city &mdash; think AJ&rsquo;s Birria Tacos&rsquo; slow-roasted birria, Pitabilities&rsquo; savory gyros, Fork in Nigeria&rsquo;s fried oxtail, Paddy Wagon&rsquo;s smoked brisket and Holy Crepes&rsquo; irresistible Dulce de Leche crepes, to name a few.
When Columbusites aren&rsquo;t eating, they are exploring beautiful parks and cultural attractions like the COSI (Center of Science and Industry), Columbus Zoo &amp; Aquarium, historic German Village and LEGOLAND Discovery Center. Beer lovers will want to traverse the<a href="http://www.cbusaletrail.com/"> Columbus Ale Trail</a>, a group of breweries and tap rooms where you can collect stamps on a &ldquo;passport&rdquo; to earn free beer and swag. And C-Bus is THE place to be on the Fourth of July because it hosts the Midwest&rsquo;s largest Independence Day Celebration &mdash; the<a href="https://www.redwhiteandboom.org/"> Red, White &amp; Boom</a>, a massive event featuring a street parade and festival, live music and, of course, a dazzling fireworks show.

Dallas Food Truck Parks
The very first food trucks date back to the chuckwagon. These covered wagons sold perishable food to cowboys and loggers in the American wilderness. Although we have come a long way from the Chuckwagon, you can still find Cowboys and cowboy fans eating from food trucks around AT&T Stadium. Over the years food trucks have become a large part of the everchanging cuisine options in the DFW area. Downtown Dallas, which is widely recognized as a foodie's paradise, has increasingly encouraged new cuisines that don’t always stay in one spot. Food trucks have become as much a staple for techy and business guru's lunching downtown, as they are for the city's vibrant nightlife. Food trucks here in Dallas / Ft. Worth are as diverse as the people, you can find a Texas BBQ truck next to a Vegan truck, no questions asked.

<h1>Detroit, aka Motor City, Revs Up Its Food Truck Scene</h1>

<h1>Los Angeles: The Food Truck OG</h1>
Los Angeles is undoubtedly the hotbed of American pop culture and entertainment &mdash; and arguably the nation&rsquo;s most trendsetting city. From movies to TV, music, fashion, food and just about anything else that falls under the category of &ldquo;new&rdquo; or &ldquo;hip,&rdquo; chances are it started in L.A. So, we should feel no surprise that we have L.A. to thank for the booming American food truck scene! Many U.S. cities have had taco and ice cream trucks roaming their streets for decades, but it was in L.A. where the mobile street food trend caught fire. So, how did the City of Angels become the birthplace of this uniquely social, fun dining experience?
A Korean immigrant and professionally trained chef named Roy Choi deserves some serious props for helping launch the L.A. food truck scene. In 2008, he and a friend came up with the idea of putting Korean barbeque into taco shells, a mouthwatering blend of Korean and Mexican cuisine, and selling them outside L.A. clubs. Thus began the birth of<a href="https://kogibbq.com/"> Kogi</a>, one of L.A.&rsquo;s most successful food trucks to ever hit the streets. Much of Kogi&rsquo;s initial growth was due to a newly developing social media platform &mdash; Twitter. However, one successful solo truck isn&rsquo;t the only reason for the city&rsquo;s massive food truck and mobile catering movement.
In 2010, the first Los Angeles Street Food Fest attracted six times as many people as organizers expected &mdash; 24,000 instead of 4,000! Los Angelenos were ready to embrace the culinary innovation and social opportunities that street food provides. Operating a food truck costs far less than a brick-and-mortar restaurant, allowing talented chefs (many from immigrant families) to blend authentic ethnic family recipes with other cuisines and introduce customers to insanely creative, previously unimagined dishes.
Additionally, eating from a food truck is a highly social activity. We interact with others as we stand in line for food, stroll along a line of trucks deliberating which to try, and eat in communal spaces. Los Angelenos spend a LOT of time in their cars, and traffic jams are no joke here. The street food fad allowed Los Angelenos to finally get out of their vehicles for a change and socialize, furthering mobile vendors&rsquo; popularity. Year-round fantabulous weather doesn&rsquo;t hurt either!
Now, let&rsquo;s talk about where to find all this tantalizing grub. (Download our app or check out our<a href="https://gotruckster.com/nearby"> maps page</a> to see where Los Angeles&rsquo; best food trucks are dishing up the chow.)
<h2>Ongoing Los Angeles Food Truck Events</h2>
The City of Flowers and Sunshine is crawling with food trucks, so you can find rolling kitchens just about anywhere. We&rsquo;ve listed a few hot spots where trucks are regularly scheduled and ready to serve the savory grub, ensuring a gastronomical good time.

Miami Food Truck Scene
Bienvenidos a Miami!!

When we're not at the beach, we're either at happy hour with our coworkers, at brunch with our girlfriends, or golfing with the boys. Going out is what unifies us here in Miami.

Miami has a unique and lively environment that brings together some of the best food trucks in the one-of-a-kind atmosphere that is Miami. Like locals say "It is so Miami"! 
The food truck movement may have originated in Los Angeles and New York, but it has come in full swing to Miami, FL and continues to dominate. From the young to the old, foodies of all ages enjoy Miami's food trucks, with each truck boasting a unique personality and its own colorful style and design. 

Miami has long been a hub for a variety of cultures and having the luxury of experiencing different communities that are rich and diverse. One of the many aspects that always stood out is the universal connection of food, and that someone can find their new favorite food truck on virtually any street in Miami. What makes these establishments so special is their ability to transport their patrons to the origin of their food through authenticity and hospitality.
All in all, the plates of food that are shared on a daily basis in Miami mean so much to an entire community of people. We always strongly recommend to anyone to experience Miami's food scene not only for the taste, but also to get a glimpse into a community that prides itself on hard work and genuine connection. Miami has changed greatly throughout the years but the one thing that remains certain is that the city will always welcome its newcomers with a warm embrace and a heavy plate.

<h1>Nashville, aka Music City: Live Music and a Livelier Food Truck Scene</h1>
&nbsp;
Stroll down Nashville&rsquo;s &ldquo;<a href="https://www.honkytonkrow.com/">Honky Tonk Highway</a>,&rdquo; visit the Grand Ole Opry House and catch a live music performance at the Ryman Auditorium, and you&rsquo;ll know why it&rsquo;s nicknamed &ldquo;Music City.&rdquo; After all, where else would music lovers expect to see the <a href="https://www.countrymusichalloffame.org/">Country Music Hall of Fame</a>? Listening and dancing to Nashville&rsquo;s live country, rock, bluegrass, blues and jazz music works up an appetite &mdash; and Nashville chefs rise to the occasion, especially our favorite kind: food truck chefs and mobile caterers! These crazily inventive roaming cooks create all sorts of tantalizing cuisine. With dishes like Falafel Plate (King Tut&rsquo;s), Lobster Grilled Cheese (Cousin&rsquo;s Maine Lobster), Redneck Taco (Single Tree BBQ) and Big Bad Buffalo Mac n&rsquo; Cheese (The Mac Shack), you know you&rsquo;re in for some tasty chow.
Typically, coastal cities offer the most culturally diverse cuisine because of their long history of immigrants arriving aboard ships before air travel was a thing. However, landlocked Nashville has a surprisingly international food scene &mdash; which its street food luckily reflects. You&rsquo;ll find classic truck favorites like BBQ, burgers, hot dogs, grilled cheese, pizza, tacos, coffee, sandwiches, donuts, desserts and ice cream. You can also expand your culinary horizons with Thai, Laotian, Vietnamese, Mexican, Columbian, Chinese, Latin American, Middle Eastern and Korean street food.
Nashville&rsquo;s southern heritage means plenty of southern comfort gastro-delights, like its famous Nashville hot fried chicken sandwiches, fried fish, fried okra, fried bologna sandwiches (thanks, Elvis!), fried green tomatoes and pretty much anything else you can batter and drop into a deep fryer.
<h2>Best Nashville Food Truck Events</h2>
Music City is a lively place, loaded with cultural events and happenings. Its mobile vendor scene is equally active, from one or two trucks parked at a brewery, shopping center, office park or busy street corner to multi-truck shindigs. Read on for a sample of some of Nashville&rsquo;s best food truck festivals and events.

<h1>Orlando: One of the Nation&rsquo;s Most Food Truck-y Cities</h1>
Once you look beyond Orlando&rsquo;s iconic theme parks, you know, Disney World, Epcot Center, Universal SeaWorld and so on, you&rsquo;ll find food trucks &mdash; lots and lots of food trucks. At about 10 trucks per 100K residents, Orlando ranks near the nation&rsquo;s top cities for food trucks per capita. Year-round warm weather creates endless opportunities to dine outdoors under the Florida sunshine. So where are all these kitchens on wheels and their innovative roaming chefs?
One place you can find nearly 60 trucks on any given day is at<a href="https://www.worldfoodtrucks.com/map"> World Food Trucks</a>, a seven-acre permanent food truck park in Kissimmee, about 20 miles southwest of downtown Orlando.

Most trucks are dishing up savory Latin-inspired cuisine, but you&rsquo;ll also find food truck favorites such as pizza, wings, BBQ, sushi, funnel cakes, seafood, smoothies, desserts and more.
However, a permanent food truck park is far from your only option to satisfy your street food cravings. The greater Orlando area is swarming with mobile food vendors and caterers parked at craft breweries, festivals, markets, concerts, parks and more.&nbsp;

<h1>History Meets Culture, Music &amp; Food Trucks in Richmond</h1>
When you meander around Virginia&rsquo;s capital Richmond, you might feel like you&rsquo;ve landed in a city-wide American history museum. History practically oozes out of every building and monument in this walkable city along the James River. If you think we&rsquo;re exaggerating, just consider a few of Richmond&rsquo;s most notable historical events: In 1775, Founding Father Patrick Henry delivered his famous &ldquo;Give me liberty or give me death!&rdquo; speech at a church that you can still visit today. The city served as the capital of the Confederacy during the Civil War, and you can explore Jefferson Davis&rsquo; (the Confederacy&rsquo;s president) former home. The city houses a remarkable Civil War Museum, and two former presidents and many Civil War soldiers are buried in cemeteries here. However, history buffs aren&rsquo;t the only ones who find this vibrant community fascinating. Richmond, aka RVA, is not stuck in the past. You&rsquo;ll find plenty of nightlife, parks, arts, restaurants, craft breweries, events and festivals &mdash; and festivals mean food trucks!
<h2>Richmond&rsquo;s Food Truck Scene</h2>
Food trucks and mobile caterers roll up at breweries, office parks, apartment complexes and even at the Office of the Attorney General on specific days. Check out our<a href="https://gotruckster.com/nearby"> maps page</a> or download our app to see where your favorite roaming kitchen will be parked. Dig into spicy tacos, juicy burgers, savory BBQ, cheesy pizza, plump hotdogs, healthy vegan, yummy ice cream, powdered donuts, gourmet coffee, fluffy cupcakes and all your other favorite street foods. Plenty of trucks go beyond the typical food truck fare and serve Caribbean, soul, Indian, Asian fusion, Latin American and other ethnic cuisines. While RVA may lack the big permanent food truck parks (where multiple trucks rotate schedules) that other cities have, food truck foodies and newbies will not go hungry here! Here are some of Richmond&rsquo;s best food truck events.

<h1>Sacramento: The Farm-to-Fork Dining Capital</h1>
You know you&rsquo;re in for some exquisitely satisfying cuisine in a city called the Farm-to-Fork Capital! Sacramento&rsquo;s proximity to fertile farmland and two large rivers ensures fresh produce does not have to travel far to reach your plate here. Farmers markets are abundant, as are renowned restaurants, craft breweries, wineries &mdash; and trees! Yes, Sacramento also happens to be known by another nickname, the City of Trees. A recent MIT study confirmed that Sacramento has more trees per capita than any other U.S. city and is ranked third globally, behind Vancouver and Singapore. So, what do all these trees mean for Sacramentans? Plenty of shady places and parks to gather and enjoy al fresco dining from our favorite type of kitchen &mdash; roaming ones, aka food trucks!
While Sacramento isn&rsquo;t crawling with food trucks like L.A. or San Francisco, this historical Gold Rush city still offers plenty of street food. The California Gold Rush started here in 1848 when a construction worker discovered gold at Sutter&rsquo;s Mill, about 45 miles east of the city. You can visit a replica of the mill today and historical Old Sacramento to see Gold-Rush era structures. Sactown is also California&rsquo;s state capital, with an impressive 19th-century neoclassical building that clearly resembles the U.S. capital. Its pleasant Mediterranean climate with warm summers and cool winters means plenty of days to spend outdoors &mdash; and plenty of year-round food truck events and festivals.
<h2>Ongoing Sacramento Food Truck Events</h2>
Sactowners have multiple options at local parks to find regularly scheduled trucks. However, Midtown, Sacramento&rsquo;s historical buzzy neighborhood, is THE place to go when your food truck craving hits. Midtown hosts multiple events, including farmers markets.

<h2>A Spotlight on San Diego&rsquo;s Best Food Truck Happenings</h2>
Like many cities, San Diego&rsquo;s food truck scene took a sad hit during the COVID-19 pandemic, so some of its former food truck events and hubs, such as Balboa Park&rsquo;s Food Truck Fridays and Ruocco Park Embarcardero Market, have yet to be resurrected. However, food truck foodies and newbies still have plenty of options to find their favorite rolling meals, beverages and treats.

<h1>San Francisco: Home of Innovation, Culture and Endless Food Truck Events</h1>
San Francisco is loaded with iconic sites, from the towering Golden Gate Bridge to creepily fascinating Alcatraz Island, entertaining sea lions at Fisherman&rsquo;s Wharf, clanging cable cars, crooked Lombard Street, surreal fog and the OG hippie neighborhood of Haight Ashbury. A few fun historical facts about this beautiful City by the Bay include being the birthplace of Levi&rsquo;s jeans and Chinese fortune cookies, The Beatles' last full concert in 1966, and housing the U.S&rsquo; oldest Chinatown and biggest Japantown. It also happens to be brimming with an incredible array of ethnic foods, drinks and festivals! Bay Area peeps also love eating at food trucks and mobile caterers, probably second to its southern foodie cousin, Los Angeles.
<h2>Bay Area Ongoing Ongoing Food Truck Events</h2>
Every day of the week provides an opportunity to swing by a rolling kitchen to grab a snack, meal, beverage or dessert at an ongoing food truck park or event in the Bay Area. Whether your diet is primarily vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free or anything goes, you&rsquo;ll find it at these popular spots.

<h1>Tampa Bay: One of the U.S.&rsquo;s Best Food Truck Cities</h1>
<h1>Tampa Bay: Crawling with Food Trucks</h1>
You know you&rsquo;re in for some outstanding food truck grub in a city that holds the<a href="https://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/world-records/largest-parade-of-food-trucks"> Guinness World Book of Records for the Largest Parade of Food Trucks</a>! Nope, we&rsquo;re not making this up &mdash; in March 2014, 121 food trucks rolled through the Florida State Fairgrounds in Tampa, preceding a two-day food truck rally. If that&rsquo;s not impressive enough, Tampa hosted the<a href="https://www.facebook.com/worldslargestfoodtruckrally/"> World&rsquo;s Largest Food Truck Rally</a> multiple times in subsequent years, the last as recently as 2021. Tampa even hosts an<a href="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/florida-penguins-international-food-truck-festival-20-tickets-513274115697?%20"> International Food Truck Festival</a>, where 80+ trucks serve global cuisine.
The Tampa Bay area encompasses Tampa and the beachfront communities of St. Petersburg, affectionately known as St. Pete, and Clearwater. The year-round pleasant weather, proximity to some of Florida&rsquo;s best beaches, professional sports and a vibrant local vibe make the Tampa Bay area ideal for festivals, street parties, craft breweries &mdash; and pirates! (There&rsquo;s a reason Tampa&rsquo;s NFL team is called the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.) Pirates did plunder and pillage Florida&rsquo;s Gulf Coast during the 17th and 18th centuries, and each January, hundreds of &ldquo;pirates&rdquo; invade Tampa Bay during the<a href="https://www.gasparillapiratefest.com/"> Gasparilla Pirate Festival</a> to celebrate all things swashbuckling.
You might not find any pirate&rsquo;s booty here now, but you can undoubtedly try an endless variety of flavor-loaded cuisine from these fabulous mobile kitchens. From chocolate to tacos to Cuban sandwich festivals, you&rsquo;ll find something happening just about every weekend!
<h2>Fun Tampa Bay Festivals with Food Trucks and Caterers</h2>
As we noted, this Gulf Coast region is rife with mobile chow. We&rsquo;ve rounded up a few here, and you can always check out our<a href="https://gotruckster.com/nearby"> map to track down your favorite food truck</a> or discover new ones.
