The Return of Baakens Food Truck Funday

After a 6-month hiatus, Baakens Food Truck Funday is back, bringing you the very best in street food culture from around the Eastern Cape. The market returns to the Valley on Friday,15 November from 5pm to 10pm, this time activating a new space, ‘The Gallery’ in Produce Street, Baakens Valley.

Twenty owner-operated food trucks were hand picked for this event, with some food trucks being a part of the BFTF movement since its inception in 2016. Everything from traditional Indian street food, gourmet burgers and Belgian waffles to Asian dimsum and pizza from Naples.

A curated craft market will fill the left wing of The Gallery, PE's latest events warehouse space, including fresh produce and condiments, fashion, art and a few Nelson Mandela University arts students exhibiting their latest work and projects.

The Kings Beach Skate Crew will also be in attendance, and kids and adults alike are invited to bring their decks down to the Valley. Local photographer and Instagram content creator, Lihle Menziwa, will be taking portraits on the day, so be sure to dress for the occasion.

On the music front, school bands, Alexander Road High School Jazz Band and the Lawson Brown Steel Band will entertain the crowds. The much loved DJ line-up is also back for the Friday night instalment of the market with Sham de Funk and Selective Fridays in attendance.

Thanks to support partners, Gardmed, DKzee Cleaning Solutions and Magnum Alarms, the event is secure and safe for the whole family.
