Food Truck Catering for Large Scale Events in Traverse City

Nothing says “Traverse City party” like a view of Grand Traverse Bay, live music, and a row of sizzling food trucks. Whether you’re filling the Open Space during the National Cherry Festival, packing Turtle Creek Stadium for summer baseball, or transforming the Village at Grand Traverse Commons into an outdoor conference hall, Best Food Trucks brings the city’s favorite rolling kitchens directly to your crowd.

Unlike the old-school tent vendors that needed extra permits, generators, and hours of assembly, today’s food trucks arrive with fully self-contained commercial kitchens. That means faster setup, faster teardown, and—most important—hot, fresh meals served on Traverse City time. From multi-day music festivals to 10K starting lines along East Front Street, our curated lineup keeps attendees happy and lines moving.

Your guests can stroll from one truck to the next, choosing anything from authentic Polish comfort food at Lost Village Pierogi: The Polished Cuban Grill to crave-worthy street tacos at King Wubbz. Gourmet or casual, vegan or carnivore, we make sure every palate is covered—so you can focus on the entertainment, not the catering logistics.

Best Food Trucks specializes in coordinating multiple vendors for large-scale catering in Traverse City. We manage health department requirements, parking layouts, and service schedules, ensuring your festival, regatta, or corporate retreat runs smoothly from the first bell to the last encore. When you need the best caterers for large events in Traverse City, call the local experts who understand the venue rules at Clinch Park and the traffic patterns on M-22.

Elevate your next big gathering with Traverse City’s top food truck catering service—because great events deserve great local flavor on four wheels.

National Event Series catering

Skip the Line and Soak Up the Traverse City Scene

Nothing kills the vibe at a large-scale event quicker than a 30-minute food line overlooking an empty plate instead of West Bay. Best Food Trucks solves that problem for every festival, race, or stadium show in Traverse City with our cutting-edge online ordering system. Guests simply scan the custom QR code posted around the Open Space, the Turtle Creek Stadium concourse, or the marina docks at the Great Lakes Equestrian Festival, choose their favorite truck, and hit “Order.”

No more weaving through crowds on Front Street while the headliner starts their set. Attendees order from their phones, continue cheering on the Pit Spitters, and receive a text the moment their smoked whitefish tacos or cherry-BBQ brisket sliders are ready. For organizers, that means less congestion, happier sponsors, and more time to keep the schedule running on Traverse City time.

Planning ahead? Send a pre-event link so runners in the Bayshore Marathon, or vendors setting up for the National Cherry Festival, can lock in a pickup window before gates even open. Our system is built for volume, so whether you’re serving 500 at a conference in the Hagerty Center or 50,000 at a multi-day music fest, orders flow seamlessly.

Food truck catering for large scale events in Traverse City has never been easier—or tastier. Pair our fleet of local food trucks with Best Food Trucks’ online ordering and give your guests the freedom to experience the event, the bay breeze, and those legendary northern Michigan sunsets without ever waiting in line.

Generous portions, well seasoned (not over seasoned), very courteous service under time pressure & walk-up customers, as well as unexpected under staffing. Thank you April's Kitchen. At our house, you're a "do again". ☺️

Burgers needed more fresh fixings (onion, lettuce) All our burgers had a tiny, wilted lettuce piece that we removed. Also the option to opt out of mustard

Nice to have a truck with more healthy options. Food was flavorful but wasn't too salty and was very fresh. Please...please bring back April's Kitchen.

The food was good but I ordered green beans and got Mac and cheese which I don't eat. Otherwise, your score would be a 5

The burger and onion rings were great, and I loved the alert of when my food was ready so I didn't have to wait in line when I came down to get it!

There were plenty of olives (the add-on) this time, as a higher concentration of meat, which led to a stronger flavor throughout. Thanks!

It’s as they promised, a less messy burger that tastes like a burger. It is a burger! Just less messy.
