Food Truck Catering for Large-Scale Events in Des Moines
From the Iowa State Fairgrounds and Water Works Park concerts to Drake Relays block parties around Drake University, big gatherings in Des Moines are built around two things: Midwest hospitality and unforgettable food. Modern food trucks make feeding those crowds simple. Unlike the old canvas tents that needed extra permits, generators, and hours of setup, today’s food trucks roll in with fully self-contained kitchens and start serving in minutes. That means less downtime for organizers and more time for guests to explore the event.
Best Food Trucks partners with the capital city’s most popular mobile chefs to create seamless, large-scale food truck catering in Des Moines. Whether you’re planning a 50-truck summer festival at Western Gateway Park, a corporate tailgate outside Principal Park, or a community celebration along the Des Moines River, we can curate a lineup that fits every appetite and ticket price. Guests can bounce from gourmet fusion plates to homestyle street tacos without ever leaving the venue—an experience traditional tent vendors simply can’t match.
Taco cravings are always strong in DSM, so we frequently feature local favorites like El Taco Guapo, Tacos Degollado, Tacos La Barca D.C., Ninas Tacos, and Taqueria La Esperanza. These trucks can park side-by-side to feed thousands, keeping lines short and plates full of authentic Mexican favorites—perfect fuel for dancing at 80/35 or cheering on the Iowa Cubs.
Ready to simplify logistics and boost attendance? Let Best Food Trucks handle every detail of your Des Moines large-scale event catering, from scheduling and permitting to on-site service and real-time sales reporting. Your job is easy: pick the date, pick the trucks, and watch the crowd roll in hungry and leave happy.
Skip the Line at Your Des Moines Large-Scale Event
Nothing kills the buzz at the Des Moines Arts Festival, an 80/35 set, or a Saturday at the Downtown Farmers’ Market faster than a 30-minute food line. Best Food Trucks fixes that with a cutting-edge online ordering system built for high-volume crowds in the heart of Iowa. Guests pull out their phones, browse every truck parked along Court Avenue or inside Water Works Park, tap to order, and get a text when their meal is hot and ready. No shoving through queues, no missing the headliner—just straight-up Midwest convenience.
Planning a corporate field day outside Wells Fargo Arena or a charity 5K along the Des Moines Riverwalk? Send attendees a pre-order link so they can schedule pickup times before the gates even open. Our platform seamlessly processes thousands of orders per hour, so whether you’ve booked ten trucks or fifty, service stays smooth and ticket lines stay short.
Food truck catering for large-scale events in Des Moines finally meets 21st-century tech—and the result is happier guests, higher sales, and an event experience that keeps everyone focused on the fun (and maybe the Butter Cow) instead of the wait.

Their family business is well run, and the hot chicken was the best! Hope they return to our neighborhood.

The fries were perfect! Very crispy and delicious. The chicken was tasty but a bit tough. There were so many orders - both online and walk-up - that they may have been a bit overwhelmed.
