Food Truck Rally Events
Festival Fridays
Who's Ready to Turn Up the Heat this Summer?
Festival Fridays is turning into the ultimate showdown on July 24 for our first-ever Burger Bash! We’re bringing together a combination of food trucks, tent vendors, and restaurants for a burger showdown. Vader Nation Car Show, along with live music, and kids activities is part of the celebration and fun at the Kalamazoo Farmers Market.
With People's Choice, Judge's Choice, and a Secret Ingredient game card, everyone can join in the fun celebration the "burger." And, if you don't like "burgers" that's okay, there will be plenty of other food options so everyone can have fun. We promise a mouthwatering battle for burger supremacy.
Come hungry, the event is from 5:00-9:00 pm and it is free to enter. Food and adult beverages are priced separately. Please bring your identification if you want to purchase adult beverages. You won't want to miss this sizzling evening of great food, community vibes, and friendly competition!
Festival Fridays brings the streets of Southwest Michigan to life with food trucks, local vendors, live music, and community energy you can feel. Festival Fridays is a placemaking event that transforms public spaces into vibrant gathering spaces where neighbors connect,
families explore, and local businesses shine.
