The delicious day we've all been craving is right around the corner! Join us in Manayunk on Sunday (September 13th) for flavors in almost every type of food from savory BBQ to sweet desserts. With over 50 food trucks, the day can be a little overwhelming. Get all the facts here before you adventure down Main Street searching for the best food coma!

What time will the food trucks be ready?
The food trucks will be serving up their delicious food from 11am-5pm. Our advice is to arrive a little early to beat the lines!

For those 21 and older, there will be a Beer and Wine Garden. For just $10 you can get five 5 ounce samples. You can choose from a variety of beers such as Goose Island, Shocktop, Stella Cidre, and more! This year we also will have wine samples too by EJ Gallo Winery!

What happens if it rains?

This is a rain or shine event! Come prepared for any type of weather because the trucks will still be here.

Will there be bathrooms at the venue?
There will be Port O Potties located on Levering Street and Lock Street.

Will I be able to ride a bike to the event?
We encourage our visitors to stay active and remain eco-friendly by biking to the StrEAT Food Festival!

I can't make the food festival. What is your next food event?

You're in luck because the StrEAT Food Festival is actually a kick off to Manayunk Restaurant Week! Manayunk Restaurant Week starts Monday, September 14th and runs until the 25th. Highlighting some of Manayunk's best eateries, this is the perfect opportunity to try some new options. Participating restaurants offer 3 courses for either $15, $25, or $35.

The StrEAT Food Festival is day full of all of your favorite foods. Be sure to come hungry and a little adventurous (you never know what undiscovered food your taste buds have been craving). A huge thanks to everyone involved for their support, participation, and making this event possible! We can't wait to see you all there!
