About The Battles Festival
6 years of food, music, and community — and we're just getting started.
"Let the crowd be the judge."
— The idea that started it all
How It All Started
The Battles Festival started 5 years ago as a fun way to showcase some of the great food trucks that our sister company, Stick It Graphics, had vinyl wrapped. We thought it would be fun to let the crowd be the judge — pick the best food and crown a winner.
It was a massive hit. Over 30,000 people attended our very first event, and we were able to donate over $100,000 in food and cash to the local food bank and several charities. That tradition stuck.
2027 marks our 6th annual event. What started as a food truck showcase has grown into a full-scale festival with 11 competitions, 3 entertainment stages, 20 carnival rides, 100+ craft vendors, and 3 days of non-stop fun.
Giving Back to the Community
Every year we raise money for over 4 local charities through various Battles competitions and parking fundraisers. 90% of all parking donations go directly to the charities and nonprofits — the remaining 10% offsets public safety and municipal costs.
We are proud to support our local community and look forward to continuing this tradition for years to come.
The remaining 10% offsets public safety and municipal costs — police, EMS, fire, and public works — so you and your family are always in a safe, well-managed environment.
Admission & Gate Fees
There is a $10 gate charge for adults. Kids 10 and under are free. Seniors and Military are always free.
Where does the gate fee go?
Gate fees are used to pay for private security, police, EMS, fire, and public works — ensuring a safe environment for you and your family. Over 90% of gate proceeds go back to our guests in the form of entertainment and staff. All 3 stages and entertainment are paid for from the gate.
90% back to you
Over 90% of gate proceeds go back to our guests in the form of entertainment and staff. All 3 stages and every performer are paid for from the gate — your ticket funds the show.
