With so many different foods from which to choose, the plan is to limit servings to small samples so that guests can try as many different foods as possible. Options vary widely and include foods such as gourmet hot dogs, Korean barbecue tacos, escargot, and more, with adventurous as well as more mainstream fare.
Great food deserves great beer and the Haute Wheels Houston festival promises delicious brew from Houston- area craft breweries as well as a few others. Our friends at HEB plan to operate a beer and wine garden at the event with beer from such notable breweries as:
Saint Arnold Brewing
Karbach Brewing
Alaskan Brewing
Real Ale Brewing
Blue Moon
Leinenkugel’s
Great food and beer would be enough to satisfy most guests, but there is more. Haute Wheels Houston Food Truck Festival will also provide live music, with different bands playing at different times throughout the two- day event. The dates, times, and musical acts are:

Sampling new foods is an adventure that never goes out of style and with so many different foods from which to select, the 3rd Annual Haute Wheels Houston Food Truck Festival is an event not to miss. The organizers are donating one dollar from each ticket sold to the Houston Community College Foundation and if the event is anything like the one last year, it is sure to be a memorable occasion. Buy your tickets today and enjoy your afternoon at this one of a kind food truck fest.
