With around 20 gourmet trucks dishing out the best wraps, cupcakes, ice creams, sandwiches, burgers and everything in between, there is a meal or two waiting for you.

Not in the city for the festival? You don't have to miss out. Chicago's roads are painted with colorful food trucks with all your favorite meals and snacks. Throughout the year, you can head to truck gatherings in The Loop and see who is going by checking #chifoodtruckfests on Twitter.
