The Richmond Community Block Party is returning to Richmond for the second time this summer, bringing food trucks to the Lansdowne Centre parking lot.
The event runs from 3 to 10 p.m. on Friday (Sept. 2), noon to 10 p.m. on Saturday (Sept. 3), and noon to 9 p.m. on Sunday (Sept. 4).
Visitors will be able to enjoy delicious food from at least 12 different food trucks, listen to live music, try local beers, and browse a mini market that will feature the products of talented artisans.
The Greater Vancouver Food Truck Festival (GVFTF) started out in 2015 as the Fraser Food Truck Festival. Annually, the free event brought close to 10,000 people together to enjoy a variety of food trucks and around 20 local artisan markets at different locations across British Columbia.
With a goal of supporting small businesses through community connections and events, the GVFTF also visits other cities including Langley, Surrey, Coquitlam, and Burnaby.
During the early days of the pandemic, the GVFTF shifted to a drive-thru model. Although the number of trucks was scaled down, visitors were still able to participate in the food truck festival.
The GVFTF also introduced a new program that assisted people looking to book a food truck for their event or business. The organization was able to conduct over 20 weeks of festivals in 2021.
The GVFTF supports local artisans and businesses in B.C. by creating a website that allows people to shop at local stores online.
