The whole idea for Food Truck Festivals of America (FTFA) started back in 2011 when we were reading about this new trend in dining out called “food trucks.” Now they're nationwide festivals that happen all across the country. It's bringing together some of the greatest local food trucks, live music, specialty drinks, and fun for everyone to enjoy.

FTFA is bringing the ultimate food truck and craft beverage experience to Albuquerque for the 11th time!

Featuring some of the area's most popular food trucks dishing out fan favorites such as Fresh Pressed lemonade, Authentic NM home cooking, Asian/Southwestern Fusion Food, Worlds largest Cotton candy and more!

Offering dozens of regional and national brews.

The Big Sing: 3:00–5:00 PM
Ever belt out your favorite song in the car and think, “I wish I could do this with other people,”? Here’s your chance! Special guest Moira Smiley, a GRAMMY®-nominated singer, composer, and educator, will lead us through an afternoon of music-making that’s as fun as it is freeing.Think of this event as a musical gathering place where everyone is welcome and no preparation is required. Moira will guide you through simple vocal warmups that feel like games, folk songs that’ll get stuck in your head (in the best way), and gorgeous harmonies that you’ll help create. With a string quartet of New Mexico musicians adding their magic to the mix, you’ll be amazed at the sound we can all create.
All ages, all levels, all voices are welcome. That includes yours! Minors must be accompanied by a parent/guardian. Seating will be available for all, with occasional invitations to stand as songs come together.

Join us for our biggest community singing event yet!
