The food truck movement in Reno-Tahoe is thriving! More than 80 roam the region.

It’s one of the top 10 largest food truck events in the nation, according to the Travel Channel. Reno Food Truck Fridays is held 4 – 9 p.m. each Friday from early June to late August in beautiful Idlewild Park in Reno. Attendees select from a wide range of food choices, from over-the-top tacos, decadent Southern fare, juicy sliders, fiery chicken wings, and fresh-made pasta to slow-roasted barbecue, gourmet hot dogs, Asian bites, as well as colorful and thirst-quenching shaved ice and many other cooling desserts. Come hungry because you will surely leave full. Do you like a bit of charity with your meal? Stop by the BJ’s Barbecue truck where local culinary students from the Academy of Arts, Careers and Technology and Truckee Meadows Community College in Reno serve you Kick Ass Fries (a huge mound of fresh fries topped with shredded pork and sauce) or Whoop Ass Fries (a giant container of fries topped with savory brisket and sauce). Net proceeds support college scholarships and other needs for local culinary students. Wash down all the tasty food with a local craft brew, tall mixed drink, glass of wine, or tart and sweet lemonade. Besides the Reno food trucks, this free, family-friendly event features live music, a large playground with train rides for the kids, and more. It’s a party in the park surrounded by Reno food trucks so bring your lawn chairs and blankets to kick back in the grass shaded by mature trees with your family and friends. Relax and let the food truckers cook for you at Food Truck Friday Reno!

The Tahoe Food Hub (TFH) is a 501(c)-3 non-profit organization based in Truckee, CA. Our mission is to provide a food system that supports regenerative and sustainable farming practices by increasing access to local food for North Lake Tahoe. By addressing local food access challenges at a systems level, we create a hub for local food. A local food system benefits diversified, family farms looking fair market opportunities while increasing access to local food for our mountain community. Our goal is to create a more equitable food system that is fair for the soil, farmer and consumer. Regenerative farming sequesters carbon into the soil which helps mitigate climate change. Our network of programs educates our community on the important role that a local food system has on our community, economy and environment. For more information find us online at tahoefoodhub.org.
For additional information or if interested in volunteering, please email or call susie@tahoefoodhub.org, 530-562-7150.

Reno Rib Cook Off
2022-08-31 - 2022-09-05 | Nugget Casino Resort, 1100 Nugget Avenue,, Sparks, NV
The Best in the West Nugget Rib Cook-Off is one of the biggest in the nation! Often referred to as the Super Bowl of rib competitions, this festival hosts more than 20 rib cookers creating delectable smoked and barbecued dishes for all ages to enjoy. To participate in the Sparks Rib Cookoff, barbecue companies travel from far-away cities and towns such as Pittsburgh; Minneapolis; Fayetteville, Ark.; Rochester, Ind.; Elizabethtown, Ky.; Burr Ridge, Ill.; Frenchtown, Mont.; and Borger, Texas. And you’ll find some local vendors as well, including Brothers Barbecue from Reno, BJ’s Barbecue from Sparks, Carson City BBQ from Carson City, and last year’s winner, Git-R-Smoked, from Sparks. All vie for bragging rights and more than $19,000 in cash.
Fun facts: Each year, the estimated 350,000 to 400,000 barbecue enthusiasts consume more than 250,000 pounds of mouth-watering ribs at this yummy event. People travel from all over the nation and across the world, including from Australia, to attend the Reno NV Rib Cookoff.
The best way to enjoy the Reno Rib Cookoff is to purchase VIP tickets. This allows you to try dishes from all the vendors, and it guarantees you a place to sit and enjoy each flavorful dish. To top it off, tickets include free beverages to tame the taste buds from some of the spicier selections or to compliment a sweet hickory sauce, for instance. Tickets for the Sparks Rib Cookoff can be purchased at Nuggetribcookoff.com.
Along with the delicious food, the Reno Rib Cookoff features a long list of vendors selling clothing, jewelry, toys, and much more. Other activities include a huge arts and crafts show, Beer Garden, Kids Carnival, the aforementioned VIP Area, and top-named entertainment performing on two stages. About 20 different bands and artists, including Everlast, Jefferson Starship, Fuel, Adam Sanders, and Eddie Montgomery, entertain the crowd. Most days of the festival, the live music showcase begins at 10 a.m. and ends at 9 p.m.
Now, when is the Reno Rib Cookoff? It takes place over Labor Day weekend annually. In 2022, it begins Wednesday, Aug. 31 and continues through Monday, Sept. 5. There is no admission fee, and the event is open to the public. Free parking is located near the event, but is extremely limited and fills up quickly. We recommend taking advantage of the free shuttle service. If you’re coming in from out of town to enjoy the Reno Rib Cookoff, sometimes called the Sparks Rib Cookoff due to its location, stay in the heart of the action at the Nugget Casino Resort, located on Victorian Square. The festival spans more than six city blocks in the heart of downtown Sparks on Victorian Avenue between 14th Street and Pyramid Way.
Leave your non-service animals at home (they are not permitted in Victorian Square). But grab your friends and family members and bring your appetite to enjoy the sunshine, a cool glass of lemonade, and the best ribs you’ve ever eaten.

People’s Choice ballots for favorite sauce are handed out with the purchase of pasta. Vote for your favorite and help a vendor win the sought-after prize and title of best Italian sauce on the West Coast.

Tickets are now on sale for the 8th annual COOKIES ON TAP happening on March 12, 2023. There will be two sessions (2-4pm and 5-7pm) so we can accommodate as many fans as possible so please purchase tickets for the session you plan to attend. We are offering a VIP package this year that includes a glass growler pre-filled with Girl Stout (our mint cookie infused stout).

Visit https://commerce.arryved.com/location/BB99X7P8/ to grab your tickets (online sales only at this time).

Cookies on Tap is the only official Girl Scout Cookie and beer pairing in the area featuring 4 beers paired with 4 cookies. What pairings will we reveal this year? Will the new cookie(s) make it to the pairing?

Cookies on Tap benefits the Girl Scouts of the Sierra Nevada and is sure to sell out again this year. As always we will be releasing our specially blended “Girl Stout”….a minty, sweet stout with the cookies added right into the beer.
