A vibrant celebration of flavors and rhythms has arrived in Myrtle Beach, as the Food Truck & Music Festival opens its gates. This much-anticipated event spans three days, commencing at midday on Friday and concluding on Sunday evening. Located at the Old Myrtle Beach Mall site, this festival promises to tantalize taste buds and invigorate spirits with an array of offerings. Visitors can expect over 55 food trucks presenting diverse cuisines, ranging from traditional coastal dishes to global street eats and rich desserts. Alongside these culinary delights, attendees will find craft beers from Wicked Weed, a renowned brewery hailing from Asheville, North Carolina, as well as local artisanal vendors.

In addition to the delectable fare, the festival features a dynamic lineup of live music performances designed to entertain throughout the weekend. Each day showcases different acts, ensuring there is something for everyone. On Friday, the sounds begin in the afternoon with Bailey Road taking the stage, followed by Mariah Faith closing out the evening. Saturday expands the festivities with morning tunes from Preston Duffee leading into lively sets by Old Soul and Warrick McZeke. Finally, Sunday wraps up the event with Julio & The Saltines delivering upbeat melodies during the afternoon hours.

This festival not only offers a feast for the senses but also fosters community spirit through shared experiences of good food and great music. With ample free parking available on-site and affordable entry fees—free admission for children 12 and under and $10 daily tickets for others—it invites all to partake in the joyous atmosphere. Pre-purchasing tickets is encouraged to streamline access. Such events exemplify how communities come together to celebrate life's simple pleasures while supporting local businesses and artists, creating lasting memories along the way.
