Grand Bahama’s growing reputation as a cultural and culinary hub will once again be on display as the Ministry of Tourism, Investments and Aviation (MOTIA) hosts the 2nd Annual Food Truck Festival on Saturday, June 21, from 1 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the beachfront festival grounds.
Event organizers officially announced the return of the highly anticipated festival during a press conference on Thursday, June 12. The festival is expected to feature over 16 food trucks, a Kiddie’s Corner, and for the first time — live musical performances.
Ava Andrew, event coordinator with MOTIA, said the festival promises to be a day of excitement, community, and island flavour. “It’s going to be a day filled with fun, food, and live entertainment from Top Tier Band and Deep South Island Boys Band. We’re inviting the entire Grand Bahama community to come out, support your favorite food trucks, and enjoy this cultural celebration. Free bus transportation will also be available for all hotel guests on the island.”
Andrew extended appreciation to participating vendors and the event’s sponsors, “A heartfelt thank you to all our sponsors and especially to the food truck vendors. Many of them were so eager, they chased us down to make sure the event would happen again — their excitement means everything.”
Among the event’s major sponsors is the Grand Bahama Power Company. Spokesperson Jayna Campbell praised the initiative as a win for the island’s economy.
“At GBPC, we are proud to support initiatives that drive economic sustainability. This festival celebrates innovation and entrepreneurship, and we’re thrilled to be a part of it.”
Also partnering once again is Lucaya Service Company (LUSCO). Corey Cartwright, part of the LUSCO management team, emphasized the cultural value of the event.
“This festival showcases the beauty of our culture through food and community. It’s something both locals and visitors can enjoy.”
The seaside event will offer a wide selection of local specialties, gourmet treats, desserts, sushi, and even a mobile gaming truck, making it a full family-friendly experience.
