2023’s rendition of the French Fry Fest takes place at Albert Whitted Park, located at 480 Bayshore Dr SE. This free-to-attend foodie event runs from 5 p.m.-10 p.m. on Friday, April 7.
Dozens of food trucks from all corners of Tampa Bay will offer their best takes on the beloved french fry, in addition to dishes that are on their regular menus. While potatoes might be the star of the festival, a wide range of cuisines—from BBQ to Asian-fusion—will also be featured.
In addition to being free-to-attend, April’s festival is also pet and child-friendly. Attendees are encouraged to bring picnic blankets and chairs, too.
A DJ will also keep the music bumpin’ while parents can sip on craft brews from a variety of local and national breweries.
A few food trucks that will sling their best french fry-infused dishes include Asian-fusion spot I Wanna Wok, Westchase BBQ, Funnel Vision, The Melt Machine, Crabdaddy's Surf & Turf and Chief's Cantina.
I Wanna Wok already sells a stacked french fry platter loaded with bulgogi steak or orange chicken, fried rice, grilled onions, cheese and sweet chili sauce.
Once again, The Gulf to Bay Food Truck Association hosts this year's celebration of carbs, but it's unsure if the organization's French Fry Fest is the same potato-centric event that 3 Daughters Brewing also hosts each year. The local brewery’s french fry party doesn’t seem to be on its calendar just yet, but it did host one last summer.
