Friday, October 2nd, 2026
Eastern Wharf will host the third annual Eastern Wharf Food Truck Festival on Saturday, Oct. 3rd from 1 to 6 p.m. in the Riverfront Lot at The Park at Eastern Wharf, part of the largest public green space on the Savannah River, located at 102 Port St. in Savannah, Ga.
This year’s much-anticipated festival will feature 28 food trucks offering classic American fare, Southern favorites and international cuisine. Attendees can also enjoy free, live music on the Shipping Container Stage by Savannah bands Rockin’ Scott & the Hot Shots, Little Gracie, Unifya and Damon and the Shitkickers throughout the afternoon.
This free, family-friendly fall event at Eastern Wharf is the area’s biggest and tastiest food truck festival, featuring a curated selection of food trucks designed to showcase the growing breadth and depth of the region’s food truck scene. Low Country Taps mobile bar will be on-site along with local favorite Mint To Be Mojito’s curated mocktails and cocktails from their new Mint To Be Mobile brand. Mint To Be Mojito Kitchen is scheduled to open at Eastern Wharf later this fall.
“We love how this event has grown organically and are thrilled to continue to shine a spotlight on our growing food truck culture and to celebrate our local music scene,” said Kayne Lanahan, Executive Director of Eastern Wharf’s Commercial District Programming. “We invite residents and visitors to join us for delicious bites, family-friendly fun and a lively afternoon at one of Savannah’s most popular fall events.”
