The Sedona Food Truck Festival will be held at the Pavilion at Posse Grounds Park on Saturday, Nov. 9, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Beer and wine will be available for purchase at this event, which will also include picnic games such as cornhole and tic-tac-toe.
“The Food Truck Festival is yet another large-scale community event put on by the Parks and Recreation Department of the city of Sedona, and it will feature food trucks galore,” Parks and Recreation Special Events Coordinator Jason Vargo said. “I’m working on confirming all of my vendors, but we have well over a dozen food trucks and dessert trucks this year that are just all across the board. We try to curate the offering to have the widest variety of food available.”
The vendors attending include: Scoop’N Mobile, Christie’s Caffeination Station, Down by the Bayou Bistro, Divine Pies, La Tapatia, Mane Lan, Mile High Meltdown, Montana Bar B-Q, Not Your Routine Poutine, Yaqui’s Taqueria, Pierogi Rig, Charmcos Farmhouse Pizza, Merkin Kebab Wagon, Hummus Xpress, Crabby’s Crab Cakes, Seafood Delights and Kona Ice.
DJ Pablo will be performing from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., followed by the Johnny Malo Band taking the stage from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. with a mix of funk, classic rock and original songs.
“We play a lot of Rolling Stones, but it’s eclectic because we’ll go from ‘Gimme Shelter’ to Jelly Roll’s ‘I Need a Favor’ to ‘Brick House’ [by The Commodores],” bassist and lead vocalist Johnny Badiaco said. “It’ll get [attendees] to dance … and we should have our saxophone player with us.”
Admission to the event is free and the Parks and Recreation Department will be holding free raffles at noon, 1 p.m. and 2 p.m.; winners must be present to claim their prizes.
Vargo said that “parking does tend to fill up for this event.”
“We are encouraging people to arrive on the Sedona Shuttle Connect like we were for the recent Fest of Fall,” Vargo said.
“That’s an initiative that we’re really trying to support and show people how easy it is and we will be incentivizing that with another riders’ raffle for this event … We are making efforts to manage that there will be nearby, off-site parking available, and the shuttle running for the duration of the event.”
