More than 35 food trucks are rolling into Laketown this Sunday as the Kenner Food Truck Fest returns for its fifth consecutive year, running from noon to 6 p.m. with free admission for anyone who shows up hungry. The daylong event pairs a lineup of local food vendors with live music, closing out the afternoon with a headlining set from classic rock band ZEBRA.
City of Kenner officials have called the festival one of the city's signature events, according to WGNO, which reports the gathering has grown steadily since it first launched in Laketown. The city's own event page, posted on kenner.la.us, confirms the Sunday, October 25 date and the noon-to-6-p.m. window, along with free admission for the general public.
Food trucks will line the Laketown grounds throughout the afternoon, with the city's listing highlighting over 35 food trucks set up for the occasion, per the same WGNO report. The event is also billed as free and open to the public, a detail echoed in a listing on Bandsintown promoting the day's headline act.
Live Music Lineup Builds Toward a ZEBRA Headline Set
Music fans can expect a full slate of performances spread across the six-hour event. The Peyton Falgoust Band kicks things off from 12:15 to 1:30 p.m., according to the city's event page, followed later by Rock Show NOLA from 2:15 to 3:45 p.m. ZEBRA is set to close out the festival with the day's headlining performance, per the same city listing.
Kenner's newsflash page also confirms the three-act bill, stating that live entertainment will feature The Peyton Falgoust Band, Rock Show NOLA, and ZEBRA. In between musical sets, festivalgoers will see the Laketown Squadron welcomed to Kenner, with a stage reveal scheduled for 3:45 p.m., according to the city's event details.
Getting There: Free Parking and Shuttle Service
For attendees worried about parking near the waterfront venue, the city says free parking will be available at the Pontchartrain Center lot, with a free shuttle running all day on a continuous loop to the festival entrance. That setup mirrors the logistics the city has used in recent years to manage crowds heading into Laketown for the fall tradition.
The City of Kenner describes the festival as one of its signature fall events, a status that reflects how the gathering has become an annual fixture on the local calendar. WGNO's report likewise frames this year's installment as a continuation of that five-year run in Laketown, with officials pointing to the event's growth as proof of its staying power among Jefferson Parish residents.
