This year in an effort to reduce wait times, and to offer more selection, we have increased the number of food trucks to 26.  2018 will see several new and exciting trucks making their first appearance at our event.  The organizing committee is especially pleased to offer such a wide array of different foods to choose from.  This year we have vendors who specialize in Mexican, Ukrainian, Jamaican, Japanese, Salvadoran,  and Caribbean cuisine.  The two returning BBQ trucks (Mikey D's, Smoked & Sauced) were two of last year's most popular tucks along with The Walleye Wagon. Serving up some of the best curbside eats from across the Province, this is a festival you won’t want to miss!

Food Truck Warz is Brandon's largest food truck event bringing together the best food trucks from across the province.   Twenty-six different food trucks will converge at Princess Park on September 14th-16th. The public is invited to come downtown and experience the delicious food creations being served by the many different culinary experts. Along with showcasing delectable curbside cuisine, bdnmb.ca will be handing out an award to recognize the public's favorite truck. Please remember to cast your vote for your favorite food truck.  It should be noted that the Churro Stop is returning in 2018 to reclaim their title.

Burgers R Us has been on the Winnipeg Food truck scene for many years now. They specialize in scratch-made homemade burgers that are made fresh and full of flavor and topped with abundant toppings.   The patties are big and beefy and the light char from the flames adds to the flavor profile of the burger. The menu selection is sure not to disappoint as options range from a traditional bacon cheeseburger (lettuce, tomato, pickle, onion, bacon, cheddar cheese, ketchup, mustard, mayo) to a chipolte burger (guacamole, tomato, lettuce, chipolte sauce, cheddar cheese).  They also offer a vegetarian burger as well. If you love gourmet burgers then this awesome food truck is just what you're looking for.

Food Truck Warz and BDNMB.CA were pleased in year one to involve Westman Dreams for Kids and their 50–50 draw which generated over $3,500.00 for their charity last year.  We have expanded this year to include 4 local charities to help fund-raise and create awareness for their programs. We would like to thank everyone in advance for supporting these and other local charities. Career Connections Inc. -  Career Connections is very excited to be a part of Food Truck Warz this year by running the beer gardens.  Career Connections is an employment training center here in Brandon providing a full range of employment options for individuals with barriers to employment. This event will be our main fundraising event this year, with all proceeds going back into programming. Dreams for Kids: We are extremely excited to be the charity offering the 50/50 draw at the 2018 Food Truck Warz! We love taking part in events in our community and this event allows us to been seen by so many people, giving our volunteers the opportunity to let people know who we are and how we help families in Westman. The 50/50 is such a huge fundraising opportunity for us. The proceeds raised will stay right here in Westman go to granting Dreams for children living with serious health concerns and disabilities in Westman. Darryl has always been such a great supporter of Westman Dreams for Kids, thank you for inviting us to be a part of this awesome event! Pawsitive Communities – We are so grateful to Jody and Darryl and Food Truck Warz for the opportunity to be a part of their event. Our program is non-profit and completely funded by donations and various fundraisers so we are excited to be a part of something like this where we can educate the public on who we are, what we do, and hopefully raise some money while doing it. We look forward to seeing everyone there! We are also a Brandon Humane Society mobile spay and neuter program aimed at helping animals in First Nations communities. We will be attending Food Truck Warz 2018 with our “Adopt/Adopt Don’t Shop” clothing for sale, and a puppy play area with adoptable cuties we rescued from our last spay and neuter clinic. We look forward to chatting with the public about who we are and raising some money for animals in need! Sprucewoods Housing Co-Op: - We are a non-profit affordable housing complex that is geared for low income families and seniors.  We have been a part of the Brandon Community for 32 years - helping those in need of housing.  Sprucewoods is in need of updating our playground so we are holding the raffle to do this.
