About this event
Grab your appetite and head to the Mattie Kelly Cultural Arts Village for one of Destin’s most delicious afternoons of the year. The Destin Food Truck Fest rolls in on Sunday, October 2 with some of the region’s finest mobile kitchens all in one place — think freshly griddled tacos, loaded lobster rolls, smoked BBQ, artisan ice cream, and plenty more rolling through the gates from 11AM to 7PM.
While you feast, kick back to live entertainment that keeps the energy high all day long. Local vendors set up alongside the trucks offering handmade crafts, jewelry, personal care products, and one-of-a-kind gifts — perfect for browsing between bites. The shaded grounds of the Cultural Arts Village provide a relaxed, open-air vibe that is equal parts festival, farmers market, and neighborhood block party.
Admission is just $5 per person (kids 12 and under get in free), making it an excellent value for families and visitors wanting to sample the local food scene without a big price tag. Bring a lawn chair, bring the family, and bring your appetite — this is Destin comfort at its finest.
