WHEELING, WV – Football fever meets foodie paradise at this year’s Food Truck Festival at Oglebay, and you don’t want to miss it. Mark your calendars for Saturday, September 13 from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. as the park transforms into the ultimate tailgate destination—complete with big flavors, bold entertainment, and a giant projection screen showing the Backyard Brawl between the West Virginia Mountaineers and Pitt Panthers.
Kickoff is at 3:30 p.m., but the festivities start bright and early at 11:00 a.m. Come early, claim your spot, and bring your best tailgate game—literally. We’ll be holding a Most Spirited Tailgater Contest throughout the afternoon, so break out the banners, face paint, and foam fingers. The competition will be fierce, and the bragging rights? Unmatched.
All day long, enjoy a mouthwatering lineup of food trucks serving up everything from savory street eats to indulgent sweets. Fan-favorite vendors include Cousins Maine Lobster, Pittsburgh Crepes, Jimmy’s Avocados, and many more.
The stage heats up with live music starting at 12:00 p.m., featuring:
- Cassie & Dave at 12:00 p.m.
- Tom’s Kitchen Table at 2:00 p.m.
- Taylor Jo & The Copper Creek Band at 5:00 p.m.
