Hey, it’s Alex again—your local foodie friend—and I’ve got one thing to say: bring your appetite. Burlington Food Truck Festival is back and it’s bigger, tastier, and more exciting than ever. From July 18 to 20, Burloak Waterfront Park is transforming into a lakeside paradise packed with flavour, fun, and a whole lot of Burlington love.

Let’s break it down, shall we?

30 Food Trucks. Endless Cravings. Zero Admission.

Yup, you read that right—free admission. That’s your ticket to three full days of indulging in mouth-watering eats from 30 of the best food trucks in the country. Whether you're into gourmet grilled cheese, international street eats, loaded poutines, or sugary deep-fried dreams, this festival has something for every craving.

And while the food’s the star of the show, don’t sleep on the cold beer, local performers, and free games for the kids. This is one of those rare events where everyone—families, couples, friend groups, and solo snackers—can find their groove.

Pick a day (or all three), because no two visits are the same. Pro tip: Come hungry and stay late. There’s something magical about eating fries under the sunset.

Location Spotlight: Burloak Waterfront Park

Nestled on the border of Burlington and Oakville, Burloak Waterfront Park is one of the most scenic settings for a summer festival. With over 800 meters of shoreline, sweeping views of Lake Ontario, and, on clear days, glimpses of the Toronto skyline and Niagara Peninsula, this 5-hectare green space is an ideal backdrop for a day (and night) of food, fun, and community vibes.

When you’re not devouring tacos or checking out a live set, take a moment to chill by the water, toss a few stones, or even stargaze once the sky dims. It’s pure Burlington.

Why You Shouldn’t Miss It

This festival isn’t just about the food (okay, it mostly is), it’s about celebrating local life, sharing moments with friends and family, and soaking up all the goodness our city has to offer. Whether you're a longtime local or checking out Burlington for the first time, this event captures the summer spirit perfectly.

So grab your crew, clear your schedule, and meet us by the lake. Burlington Food Truck Festival 2025 is calling—and trust me, it tastes better with company.

See you there.
