If you think Jönköping’s food scene is exciting as is right now… buckle up because it’s about to become even better!
Although it has been quite popular around Sweden for a few years now, this is the first time the Street Food Festival comes to our town! I don’t know about you, but I certainly am going to be there. And to convince you to join me, I will present to you three reasons why you should make some time for it!
1.
First of all, it is one of the largest food festivals in Sweden and they are bringing 36 food trucks to Jönköping! You can enjoy various cuisines, from the classic Swedish all the way to Thai, Indian or Jamaican. You name it, they probably have it!There will also be drinks and desserts available. And even better, all of them sell half portions so you can try as many food trucks as you want without getting full too fast!
2.
The Street Food Festival is actually part of the Jönköping Market, so there will be so many more activities to try out around the city! Local artists and DJs will perform all throughout the day and you can also register to participate in a beer tasting with Ekerö Brygghus!
3.
Lastly, and most importantly of course, you just have to be there for the most delicious competition: the French Fries Championship! Although the main intent of the contest is to find out who makes the absolute best fries across different classes, it is also important to acknowledge Sweden’s most beloved ingredient: POTATOES!
Now, I sure hope this was persuasive enough! Since there are only a few days left! The Street Food Festival will be held in Jönköping on the 30th and 31st of May in Rådhusparken! But make sure you check out the exact festival schedule on https://jkpgcity.se/ because you don’t want to miss this!
