Main Street Food Truck Festival - Little Rock

09/29/2026

ONE WEEK LATER… AND WE’RE STILL FULL! 🍴

It’s officially been a week since the 15th Annual Downtown Food Truck Festival, and somehow we’re still full — full of great food, great memories, and a whole lot of gratitude for everyone who helped us celebrate 15 Years of Flavor in Downtown Little Rock!

To every food truck, vendor, performer, volunteer, partner, and every single person who came hungry and spent their Sunday with us: THANK YOU. You’re what makes this festival one of our favorite downtown traditions year after year.

And an especially big thank you to the sponsors and community partners who helped make this year’s festival possible:

Little Rock, Arkansas • Google • Stone Ward Advertising • Courtyard by Marriott • Moses Tucker Partners • Modern Storage • Simmons Bank • Nabholz Construction • Waste Management • Rock Town Distillery • Central Arkansas Library — and so many more businesses, corporations, and community partners who supported the festival through financial and in-kind contributions.

It takes a lot of people working together to bring a day like this to Downtown Little Rock, and we couldn’t have done it without you.

That officially wraps up 15 Years of Flavor.

We’re already making plans for next year — and yes, we’re putting in our request for MUCH, MUCH cooler weather.

Until then, thank you, Little Rock. Come hungry. Leave happier. We’ll see you next year!

🔥 THE TRY-IT-ALL TASTE TOUR IS SERVING UP AUTHENTIC BARBECUE!

For her stop on Little Rock’s Ultimate Try-It-All Taste Tour, Kaila Holloway headed to Down Home Blues BBQ for a taste of some serious Southern flavor!

You may recognize Down Home Blues BBQ from our very first Food Truck Fridays segment with THV11’s The Vine—and Kaila came hungry. 😋 She tried a turkey leg stuffed with mac & cheese AND a slab of ribs. 🍖

But she also got the inside scoop on their #1 seller: the dressing-stuffed turkey leg! If that’s on your festival must-try list, take their advice and get there early—because once it’s gone, it’s gone!

🚚🍻 A familiar face is joining us for the Try-It-All Taste Tour!

If you’ve spent any time exploring the Little Rock food scene, chances are you’ve seen Jack (Pharmtofoodie ) showing us where to eat, what to order, and which local spots deserve a place on our list. So naturally, we had to bring him along as one of our Downtown Food Truck Festival creators!

For his first stop, Jack headed to Southern Tail Brewing (Southern Tail Brewing) or a preview of some of the drinks you’ll find at this year’s festival—including their infamous b**r slushies! 🍺❄️

Southern Tail Brewing is one of our beverage partners helping keep festivalgoers refreshed throughout the day. And there’s another reason to raise a glass: proceeds from beverage sales at the festival benefit Downtown Little Rock Partnership’s Public Art Fund, helping us continue investing in art and creative placemaking throughout downtown. 🎨

This is just the beginning of Jack’s Try-It-All Taste Tour, so follow along as we get closer to 15 Years of Flavor!
