About Arco Street Food

For one full weekend, the Arco Street Food Festival transforms the historic center of Arco, on Lake Garda, into an open-air culinary journey along Viale delle Palme. The best Italian food trucks offer street food specialties, regional dishes, gourmet menus, and vegetarian and vegan options, all paired with craft beers. Every evening, live concerts, roving performances, a craft market, and workshops for children make this event a celebration for the whole family. Free admission, with a dedicated Baby Friendly approach.

A weekend of flavor in Arco

The Arco Street Food Festival is one of the most anticipated gastronomic events in the Garda Trentino region. Every year, at the start of summer, the elegant Viale delle Palme in the historic center of Arco, in the province of Trento (Trentino-Alto Adige), comes alive with the colors, aromas, and flavors of the best Italian street food. The event is born from the collaboration between the Arco municipal administration and the Assocentro consortium, with the goal of promoting high-quality street food culture in a stunning setting, just a stone's throw from Lake Garda.

Food trucks and specialties

The absolute stars are the food trucks arriving from all over Italy, bringing a true gastronomic journey on wheels to Arco. Visitors can choose from numerous offerings, ranging from traditional regional recipes to the most creative gourmet dishes:

  • Abruzzese arrosticini and grilled meats
  • Gourmet burgers and pulled pork sandwiches
  • International cuisine and global dishes
  • Sweets, churros, fried treats, and strudel
  • Vegetarian and vegan options
  • Selected craft beers

Music, entertainment, and markets

Beyond the culinary delights, the Arco Street Food Festival features live music concerts every evening, street performers, and roving shows that bring the avenue to life. A local craft market offers gift ideas and handmade products, while the festive atmosphere engages visitors of all ages until late in the evening.

A family-friendly event

The festival is designed with families in mind and is recognized as a Baby Friendly event: throughout the weekend, there are workshops and entertainment for children, as well as dedicated services such as high chairs, changing tables, bottle warmers, and a private nursing area. Admission is free, making the Arco Street Food Festival an ideal destination for an outdoor evening of good food and fun.
