FoodieLand returns to Phoenix Raceway with food, music, more

The FoodieLand Food Festival will be held this weekend at Phoenix Raceway in Avondale, the third year in a row the festival has been held in the Valley.

The self-proclaimed “America’s Largest Food Festival” is an event that will host 78 food vendors, 58 shopping vendors and nine live music artists Friday-Sunday. Experiences like a trampoline bungee jump, a dinosaur-themed ride and a giant inflatable water ball are also available to attendees.

FoodieLand will be open from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. each day, with tickets starting at $12.57 (children under 5 get in for free). Tickets must be purchased online in advance, as they are not sold at the door.

The event began in 2019 and first came to Phoenix area in 2024. This year’s food lineup features a large variety: everything from seafood boils to Korean barbecue to cheesecake on a stick.

“We aim to celebrate culinary diversity while delivering memorable experiences that bring people together through shared love of food and community,” FoodieLand’s mission statement says..

The event has expanded to over 21 cities with over 1.6 million attendees and more than 2,500 active vendors.

FoodieLand recommends attendees wear sunscreen, use their event map and, of course, come on an empty stomach.
