Skyline Food Truck Festival

Skyline Food Truck Festival

Details are being finalized for a festival that would feature 50-60 food trucks (many from out of state), around 50 pop-up retailers, live music and a school supplies give-away by Kevin Durant and his foundation.

The date is set for Saturday August 23rd from 11AM to 11PM at the old Downtown Airpark.

Stoney LaRue is being courted as the music headliner.

Last year, the Kevin Durant Family Foundation gave $1 million to the Red Cross for disaster relief in Oklahoma.

The event will also serve as a kick-off for Bleu Garten food truck court (coordinator of the food trucks) at NW 10th & Harvey which hopes to open the first week of September.

The OKC Downtown Airpark has been hosting various events over the last year, and on the night before this festival, the Offspring will headling the Summer Nationals concert.

So is this a Red Dirt music festival?

[Pete]

I believe they will be marketing as a family event with live music; more focus on the food trucks, retailers and Kd's foundation.

Not sure about the other musical acts at this point.

[trousers]

This will probably turn into that more cross genre festival that everyone wants.

[Pete]

Remember, the Summer National concert with Offspring et. al. will be the night before.

This will be marketed as a family event.

[trousers]

Really, no idea. I totally missed that concert annoucement.

Ive seen Bad Religion...wouldnt mind seeing Pennywise. Not too shabby.
Do I blame the mayor for NOFX not playing with them?

This event now has a website:

There really isn't much information yet on the website but I'm sure that will change as it gets closer.

There really isn't much information yet on the website but I'm sure that will change as it gets closer.

I have really been disappointed with lack communication this festival has provided. I have been trying to get in touch with them for over 3 weeks via Facebook, Twitter and email with no response. I had to call some random number I found on Twitter in order to reach someone.

I am struggling to decide whether I should work this festival or not. Nothing bothers/concerns me more than poor communication.

Does anyone know anything more about this festival that has not already been posted on social media? Just trying to get a feel for things. Thanks!

[Mel]

I think the chow is calling me harder than the music.

[bradh]

oh great, something else for this website to complain about (re: the headlining music talent at this)

this sounds awesome, too bad i'll be halfway to Colorado that weekend

My clothing company, MENT Apparel, will be set up at the festival tomorrow. Unfortunately I cannot list any other vendor that will be there since the organizers never provided me with that information. Should be a good time!

[OKCretro]

Looks a lot like a H&8th, but for $60 bucks instead of free. Pass

[sooner88]

^^^^ Looks like the $60 is for VIP access, including free beer, VIP access, etc. FYI

[Urbanized]

These days I'd pay $60 not to have to fight the crowds at H&8th...

Get to H&8th like at 5:30 or 6, no lines. Problem solved

Or wait a few weeks until Bleu Garten opens and leave H&8th to the Edmondites.

That is precisely my plan.

[catch22]

Same. While I enjoy H&8th, it is attracting the type of people who I now avoid Bricktown for.

[Richard at Remax]

We'll sure miss you! Better not let us know where Bleu Garten is or we'll run that into the ground too..

Nah. I'll add it to my Sun-Thurs rotation. You folks will be too busy putting your kids to bed and watching Dating Naked.

So, you are in favor of downtown being only for downtown residents?

[catch22]

So, you are in favor of downtown being only for downtown residents?

Sounds like the opposite to me. Downtown is now providing enough variety that it caters to everybody. That doesn't mean one has to hang out with every group who use downtown events.
