A massive food truck war with live music & craft beer is coming to Metro Vancouver & here’s when

If you’re an avid food truck fan, you’ve likely heard about the Greater Vancouver Food Truck Festival (GVFTF) and have maybe even attended a couple of events in years past. And if not, this is the perfect opportunity to do so. This March, The GVFT presents their second annual Food Truck Wars series at KPU Langley, which takes place over a full weekend.

“We are excited to announce the 2nd Annual Food Truck Wars Presented by the Greater Vancouver Food Truck Festival & Evolved Events at KPU Langley. After last year’s incredible experience, we’re battling it out again to award your favourite food truck champions,” says the GVFTF.
