Virginia Beach context and market information
Virginia Beach's food-truck-event scene is split between neighborhood market days and larger food festivals. Old Beach Farmers Market in the Vibe Creative District says its Saturday market spills onto 19th Street with a food truck and other vendors, while the Taste of Virginia Fest at Mt. Trashmore brings together food trucks, chefs, and culinary creators for a one-day Hampton Roads food event. For operators, that means the best leads are not one citywide vending list: check each market or festival organizer, then confirm Virginia Beach and Virginia health requirements before booking a spot.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where do food trucks show up at Virginia Beach market events?

The Eventbrite listing says the festival brings together food trucks, chefs, and culinary creators serving soul food, American classics, Asian cuisine, Mexican flavors, Indian spices, Caribbean favorites, vegan and plant-based eats, and more.
