Tampa Bay’s biggest gathering of international food trucks is back for its fifth rendition. International Food Truck Festival 5.0 presented by Pasco County Recycling is taking over Tampa Premium Outlets for two full days, bringing more than 50 amazing food trucks to the area.
Festivities take place Saturday and Sunday, April 12th and 13th, from 12-6 pm at Tampa Premium Outlets in Lutz, 2300 Grand Cypress Drive. This spring’s edition of the International Food Truck Festival is also a fundraiser for local charity, so the cost of admission is a recommended $5 donation. Advance tickets can be purchased online, but we recommend guests pay the $5 at the gate to avoid additional online fees. For a limited time (now through April 9), fest-goers can get BOGO tickets for just $5.
