Awards

Each year our jury of Campbell River foodies will sample a plate from each participating truck and select their favourite truck and runner-up. On the day of the festival attendees can also vote for the people’s choice favourites. In 2023 the Jury awarded Pupuseria Las Gemelas the gold and The Dragon Bowl silver, while the People’s Choice awards went to the same to trucks but in reverse order.

Winning trucks receive a cash prize plus the prestigious gold or silver VI Food Truck Festival award decals! 2024 winners will be announced at the festival between 5 and 7pm.

New Pet policy: New for 2024! On-leash pets will be permitted in the festival site so long as they are well behaved and under control. Please be aware there will be many kids and lots of food around.
