2015

The inaugural Foodtruck Wars Festival was held on a beautiful sunny weekend in May at the Sutherland Curling Club venue. We had 12 food trucks at the festival, and for many of them it was also their first time participating at a festival. We were introducing the food trucks to Saskatonians and at the same time introducing Saskatonians to food trucks!

The festival helped to create a real buzz about the food truck culture that most of us only witnessed happening in other cities on television. Because of the enormous interest about the food truck phenomenon our festival attracted huge crowds. In fact, almost every truck was sold out even after re-stocking as best that they could.

The Foodtruck Wars Flavour Challenge & the Hot Dog Havoc were unveiled at our first festival and both have remained as important segments to our festival entertainment lineup.
