The traveling food truck gathering featuring street food, live music, and free entry in Rome
This edition has not been confirmed by the organiser to date. We recommend checking before going.
The Motore Food Truck Festival is part of the phenomenon that has conquered squares and urban spaces across Italy in recent years: the traveling gathering of food trucks, mobile kitchens that transform a simple plaza into a lively open-air gastronomic village. In Rome, in the heart of the Lazio region, the event promises a few days of flavors, music, and conviviality open to everyone.
The concept is simple and engaging: a selection of food trucks meets in the same place to offer visitors a journey through street cuisines. From the most traditional Italian street food, with gourmet sandwiches, fried foods, arrosticini, and artisanal desserts, to ethnic and international offerings, every van tells a different story and features a unique specialty.
The Motore Food Truck Festival is not just about food. The typical formula for these gatherings includes live music, street performer shows, and entertainment activities that accompany the days and evenings, creating a festive atmosphere suitable for families and groups of friends. Admission is free, making the event accessible to all Romans and visiting tourists.
Hosting a food truck festival in Rome means becoming part of a city that experiences the street and conviviality like few other places. The Municipality of Rome, within the Metropolitan City of Rome Capital and the Lazio Region, offers ample space and a very strong popular gastronomic tradition, from porchetta to supplì, which naturally dialogues with the contemporary culture of street food on wheels.
Whether it is for a lunch break with a twist, an aperitif with friends, or an evening out with the family, the Motore Food Truck Festival aims to be a moment of outdoor celebration. It is advisable to check the exact location and the updated program on the organization's official channels before setting off, as venues and times may be confirmed close to the event date.
The 2026 edition is scheduled in Rome from June 8 to 14. Following the usual formula, the event will bring together numerous food trucks with sweet and savory street food offerings, world cuisines, and craft beers, accompanied by live music and entertainment, with free admission. As this is a traveling event, it is recommended to check the venue and times on the official channels before attending.
The event takes place in Rome (Metropolitan City of Rome Capital, Lazio). The specific venue within the city is to be confirmed: it is recommended to consult the organization's official channels for the exact address.
Rome is served by the Roma Termini and Roma Tiburtina railway stations and by the Fiumicino and Ciampino airports. Internal travel is easy via metro, bus, and tram; for those arriving by car, it is advisable to check the limited traffic zones (ZTL) and parking available near the venue.
Admission to the event is free. The cost of food and drinks at the food trucks is paid by the visitors.
