Baakens Food Truck Funday 

Baakens Food Truck Funday (prev, Baakens Food Truck Friday) started in November 2016 with only 10 food trucks, 2 djs and a great turnout. Today we are not just a food truck family market, but also a space for craftsmen to showcase their wares, a platform for local artists to be discovered, and a true reflection of Gqeberha’s street food culture.

BFTF has no entrance fee, all meals are capped at R60 and there is a definite focus on a family environment.

Each event has kids activities, a design market and bars/restaurants open for the day. People are also encouraged to bring their own blankets and camping chairs.

Baakens Food Truck Funday was started as a community activation project, with the aim of driving the greater public to the Baakens Valley precinct in the heart of Gqeberha. The market was started to not only give upcoming food trucks, tuk-tuks and trailers a home in the City, but it was intended to grow the street food culture in Nelson Mandela Bay.

“We wanted to show off the space, and create a safe environment where people of all ages and cultures could socialize and enjoy a meal together.” – co-founder, Grant Foong.

Venue: Baakens Valley, 2 Alabaster Street
Time: 4 pm – 9 pm
