As the FoodieLand Food Festival arrives in Fort Worth this weekend, foodies across North Texas are preparing for a culinary journey that will turn Texas Motor Speedway into a lively environment with international cuisine and festival entertainment.
Over 185 vendors will be in attendance during the three-day outdoor festival.
Festival attendees can look forward to a global marketplace featuring international dishes. There will be food for every taste at the event, including Mediterranean gyros, Cajun crawfish boils, Hawaiian poke bowls, Japanese sushi burritos and Korean BBQ.
In addition to food, the festival will have interactive cooking demonstrations, food-eating competitions, live music, cultural performances and kid-friendly games with designated play spaces. While exploring the festival grounds, adults can enjoy locally brewed beers and craft drinks from a beverage garden while their kids stay safe and have fun.
“I’m really excited to try new foods and experience new culture,” Emily Sugg, a TCU junior psychology major, said. “It’s like traveling the world without leaving Fort Worth!”
The Texas Motor Speedway will host the festival on Friday, March 7, from 3 p.m. to 10 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday, March 8 and 9, from 1 p.m. to 10 p.m. Children under five enter free of charge, and admission for everyone else is $7 per person. Tickets will not be sold at the door. They must be bought online via Eventbrite prior to attending the event. Parking is $12 per car, with ADA parking available.
FoodieLand is expanding across several states, including California, Washington, Nevada, Arizona and Texas. Since its founding in the summer of 2019, the organization has hosted more than 16 events annually.
After the Fort Worth event, FoodieLand’s Texas tour will continue with events in Houston from April 4-6.
