SPRINGFIELD, Mo. — Food trucks are returning to the Ozark Empire Fairgrounds.
The 10th Annual Missouri Food Truck Fest is happening tomorrow, Sept. 14. The one-day event will feature food trucks from right here in the Ozarks, across Missouri and beyond.
“We get about six or seven thousand people over the course of the day. We’ve got 25 different food trucks that are planned to be there,” said Larry Krauck, Special Events Manager at Ozark Empire Fairgrounds. “We’ve got some returning favorites that come every year, and we’ve got some folks that are new to the festival this year, and it’s just going to be a great time.”
In years past the festival has brought in quite a crowd of foodies trying all types of cuisine in one location.

“When we started our truck, there was maybe a handful of trucks that were licensed in Greene County. Now there’s upwards to 100 plus,” said Casey McTavish who will have two food trucks Saturday. “This particular festival has helped the food truck industry grow tremendously.”
