Food Truck Catering for Large-Scale Events in Traverse City

From the National Cherry Festival on Front Street to summer concerts at the Open Space, Traverse City knows how to throw a party—and locals expect top-notch eats while they’re celebrating. Modern food truck catering is the easiest way to keep those big crowds happy. Unlike the old tent kitchens that needed extra permits, generators, and hours of set-up, today’s food trucks roll in with fully self-contained commercial kitchens, fire up, and start serving Traverse City favorites in minutes.

Best Food Trucks specializes in coordinating multiple food trucks for large-scale events across Grand Traverse County. Whether you’re hosting a marathon along the TART Trail, a tournament at Turtle Creek Stadium, or a lakeside wedding at Clinch Park, we bring the trucks that fit your vibe and your volume. Guests can move from truck to truck, sampling everything from smoked whitefish tacos to artisan pierogi—an experience traditional tent vendors simply can’t match.

Looking for a hyper-local lineup? We’ll book crowd-pleasers like Lost Village Pierogi: The Polished Cuban Grill for authentic Polish comfort food and King Wubbz for Traverse City’s most talked-about street-style tacos. Add a craft beverage station featuring local cherries or hops, and your large event catering is essentially pure “TC” on a plate.

When you need dependable, delicious, and scalable food truck catering for large-scale events in Traverse City, call Best Food Trucks. We handle the routing, permitting, and point-of-sale logistics so you can focus on the music, fireworks, or finish-line tape. Let’s make your next Northern Michigan event unforgettable—one food truck at a time.

National Event Series catering

Skip the Line & Soak Up the Traverse City Vibes

Nothing kills the buzz at the National Cherry Festival, a sold-out Interlochen concert, or a Saturday night Pit Spitters game faster than a 40-minute food line. Best Food Trucks solves that with our Traverse City–ready online ordering system. Guests pull out their phone, choose their favorite truck—maybe smoked whitefish mac from Bay Shore Bites or brisket sliders from Kingsley Q—and tap “order.” When their meal is hot, a text lets them know it’s waiting at the pickup window. No lines, no FOMO, just more time to cheer, dance, or watch the sunset over West Grand Traverse Bay.

Planning a massive 5K on the TART Trail or a beach movie night at the Open Space? Send attendees a pre-order link days in advance so they can lock in a pickup time before the crowds arrive. Our platform is built for high-frequency ordering, so even if 20,000 festival-goers hit “submit” at once, every transaction flows smoothly—right through to the truck’s kitchen printer.

Food trucks for large-scale events in Traverse City plus Best Food Trucks’ online ordering equals maximum fun and minimal hassle. Your audience stays focused on the music, fireworks, or finish-line photo, while we deliver Traverse City’s best eats—fast.

The pizza taste great but the picture made them look bigger than the pie was and I didn't know I would have order a few more because they were small.

Nashville bourbon cheesesteak.. delicious only suggestion to put queso sauce in a separate container so the bread won't get soggy.

. The boneless wings and fries were really good but the kids burger barely had a meat patty on it. It was almost eating just bread. I know it's a kids burger but it still costs like 9 dollars.

I made a review earlier about their sauces being a little amount, I’ve tried them since and they have made the portion of their sauces much better and the food was amazing again!

Don't run out of German potato salad so early in the evening. We placed our order before 5:00 for a 5:20 pick up and they were already out of it.
