Musikfest 2020 features 10 food truck vendors

Let the taste of delectably fresh burgers on flaky buns, mouthwatering corn-on-the-cob and belly-busting Belgian waffles with sweet ice cream take you away to that Musikfest vibe nearly 1 million people enjoy each year.

As part of Musikfest 2020, ArtsQuest will present 10 of the festival’s most beloved vendors for Musikfest lovers to enjoy at SteelStacks July 31-Aug. 9.

Hours for the walk-up food service at PNC Plaza are July 31 and Aug. 3-7 from 4-8 p.m., and Aug. 1-2 and 8-9 from noon-8 p.m.

Highlighting the list of favorites are Aw Shucks roasted corn and the shish kebabs of Hogar Crea, both of whom are making their only area appearances of the summer.

“We are thrilled to be able to offer this taste of Musikfest this year for our patrons, as well as to support these small businesses and independent vendors, many of whom have been hit pretty hard by the pandemic-related closures,” says ArtsQuest Senior Vice President of Operations Ray Neeb. “As we were developing plans for a revamped Musikfest 2020, this is the first ‘in-person’ element we started to work on because we know how much people enjoy the wide variety of eats at the festival.

“We thank all of the vendors, some of whom are setting up just for this event, for coming together to make this experience possible for everyone.”

During Musikfest 2020, patrons can walk up and order from any or all of the 10 vendors. Onsite beverages, as well as Musikfest merchandise like the popular collector’s mug, will also be offered. The complete list of vendors are:

• Aw Shucks Roasted Corn

• Karl Ehmer/Heaven on a Bun

• Mr. Bill’s Poultry

• Festival Island Noodles

• Hogar Crea

• Bethlehem Dairy Store

• Theo’s Gyros

• Heidi’s Strudel/Island Expressions

• The Flying V

• Take A Taco
