One of the festival’s most popular activities was the food truck wars.  Thousands of Winnipeggers sampled and savoured delicious treats from over 33 different food trucks. Global’s Eva Kovacs was one of the judges lucky enough to try the delicious food. The winners were:

• Most Original: The Red Ember’s The Carrot Pizza
• Best Presentation: KYU Grill’s Big Wave
• Best Bang for Your Buck: Simba Safari Grill’s Chapati Burger

“There’s no doubt in my mind that downtown was the place to be this past weekend,” said Stefano Grande, Chief Executive Officer for the Downtown Winnipeg BIZ.

“It’s amazing to see thousands of Winnipeggers coming together from all across the city to celebrate our downtown and create an exciting energy and vibe in the heart of our city. Now that people have seen how amazing our downtown is, I encourage Winnipeggers to check out downtown all year-round.”
