The smell of smoked meat and fried food is about to take over the Black Hills Harley-Davidson parking lot again.

The Black Hills Food Truck Festival returns to Rapid City Friday, May 29 and Saturday, May 30 with more than 30 food trucks, live music, vendors, drinks, and family activities spread across a newly expanded two-day schedule.

After drawing thousands during its first year, the festival is returning bigger this time around with additional food vendors, more live music, and extra space for crowds to spread out across the Harley-Davidson grounds.

Festival hours run Friday from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. and Saturday from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.

The food lineup ranges from BBQ, burgers, tacos, brats, and steak tips to Ecuadorian food, shaved ice, ice cream, lemonade, dirty sodas, coffee, and desserts. Organizers say more than 30 food trucks and vendors are expected throughout the weekend.

Live music is scheduled both days, with Flannel performing Friday night. Saturday’s lineup includes Tyler Bills Trio, Johnny Hastings, and Concrete Cowboys.

Along with food and music, the event will also feature a beer garden, games, face painting, vendors, and tattoo offerings throughout the weekend.

The festival is hosted by Black Hills Harley-Davidson and organized by Jesse Lee of The Good Stuffed food truck, who said the goal is to create a large community event that also helps bring attention to local food trucks and vendors across the region.

Admission is free and the event is open to all ages.
