Winnipeg’s Biggest Culinary Competition Is Back This May 2025
Who will reign supreme at the 2025 Manitoba Food Truck Battles? Winnipeg’s top vendors are going head-to-head again at the biggest culinary competition in town, which will take place at Assiniboia Downs on May 24 and 25.
Blue Haze BBQ, our go-to for wood-smoked brisket, is the defending champion. They won two years in a row, and it won’t come as a surprise if they make it three.
Last year’s festival featured 30+ food trucks, serving a variety of delicious treats. Since there are limited spots available, the lineup changes slightly each year, but we still expect some of our favorite local joints to pop up at the event.

Aside from indulging in great eats, we can’t wait to do all the fun, family-friendly activities between bites. Just like in previous years, live entertainment will keep the energy high all weekend long.
There will be another tattoo pop-up, where you can get inked by professionals on the spot, while kids can get glitter stencils.
Admission costs only $7 per person, but kids aged 5 and under can enter for free. You can get tickets at the venue.
