Black Food Truck Festival

The Exchange Park/Fairgrounds

The Black Food Truck Festival is a family-oriented event featuring the finest food trucks in the region in Charleston, South Carolina. Our mission is to make an economic and social impact on the community by showcasing and investing in area Black-owned businesses.  

Black American culture is deeply rooted in the traditions of the African diaspora, with many shared or common cultural practices in food, music, and dance. 

The Black Food Truck Festival honors these cultural ties with a line-up of over 40 food trucks, serving an array of cuisines from Black American soul food to West African dishes. This family-friendly event welcomes all to join our celebration of Black culture. 

Live Entertainment

Performing at the Black Food Truck Festival is by invite-only. We aim to bring our attendees the best musical talent, who can create a feeling of nostalgia, high energy, and great laughs. 

DJ Sets 

In between performances, Charleston’s own Deejay Rubin gives us throwback hits from the 80s and 90s.

To kick off the 2-day Festival, we host an opening at The International African American museum located in downtown Charleston.
