The company solicited vendors, took payments, and booked time on small businesses calendars for a North Charleston, SC festival only to cancel with zero information less than two weeks beforehand and will now hold vendors refunds until the original date of the festival nearly two weeks away. They took no accountability for their failure citing circumstances beyond their control.

We purchased our tickets ahead of time for the festival in Lakeville, Massachusetts, which began at noon time unless you bought a VIP ticket to get in at 11 and a higher cost. By the time we got there at 1 PM they were not allowing anyone else into the event as the parking was full. The poor guy that was at the entrance of the parking lot was catching an ear load from every person who attempted to get in. I feel bad for the guy because he was working for a company that stole money from hundreds of people to attend an event that they were completely unprepared for. Long and short of this is this company ruined food truck festivals for me forever? I will never go to another food truck festival. I’ll just go to McDonald’s and eat the same crap

We went to the food truck festival this past weekend in Newport. The organization of walking in and getting beer bracelets was a mess. They let people cut lines which was frustrating. You can only drink beer in a fenced area, you cant just walk around and order food with a beer, you have to stay in that area. But the waits for food was not bad at all, Gonzalez was definitely my fav!

A group of friends and I decided to show our support for the 5th Annual Great New Mexico Food Truck & Craft Beer Festival this previous weekend (3/30/2019) and we were all very disappointed along with other individuals we met at the festival. Staff were very nice and deserve respect so this review is not against staff but more against the host company. First, paying $5-$10 to get in (pre-purchase/same day) plus $7 (does not include tips) for a beer ticket which they only have 12oz cans/bottles is a bit ridiculous, taking into consideration you also have to pay for overpriced food from food trucks. Second, and most important, is the long lines we had to wait for everything. We purchased our tickets online, but still needed to buy the beer tickets which took about 45min. By the time we got the tickets we wanted to eat but the lines for the food trucks were averaging a minimum of 2 hour wait times so we decided to drink first which the lines took about 5-10min. The worst part came when we looked for a bathroom. There were only 10 portable bathrooms and line took 30 min just to use the bathroom. The organization of this event was horrible. Last time my friends and I will go to an event hosted by Food Truck Festivals of America.

Hi Jordan, thank you for voicing your concerns about the long lines. We agree that the lines were much longer than we anticipated, and should have planned accordingly! For the 2020 year we have changed it to a two-day festival to help spread out the crowd over two days which should help with the lines. We are hoping this will give guests a better festival experience! -FTFA Team

$10 for absolutely nothing, but entry. No beer samples, no food samples, no (quality) entertainment or seating. After $10 entry it's $7 per beer no matter where you go (angry orchard costs the same as a local brew) and upwards of $10 depending on what food truck you choose. Beer and food were good, but I feel mislead on what the event was. I would be curious to know what FTF of America is spending entry fee to provide other than the space.
Response from owner
Hi Sarah, we understand your concern about the entry fee. There are many costs associated with producing a festival including venue fees, staffing, security, fencing, tents, tables, permitting, trash services, bathrooms, and that's just the beginning of the list! We try to keep our entry fees as low as possible but if we did not have these we simply would not be able to afford to host the festivals. We do offer tickets at 50% OFF online until the day before the event! We hope this helps answer your question about the entry fee! -FTFA Team
