What is the Haute Wheels Festival?
First in Houston, Haute Wheels celebrates the latest culinary trend—the gourmet food truck. Did you know that there are now more than 1,000 food trucks in Houston? Celebrated chefs and entrepreneurial foodies have moved past the standard brick and mortar and we’re paying tribute to them for 2-days, March 23-24, 2013.

The purchase of a Haute Wheels Ticket gets you:

• Full admission to enjoy everything Haute Wheels has to offer.
• A ticket to some of the best bands in Houston. There will be live music playing every hour.

Why are there only 2,000 tickets sold for each day of the festival?
We learned so much in 2011 and 2012 about how to host a great food truck festival and what we know is that food trucks make great food not fast food. So in order to make sure that all Food Truck Festival guests have a great experience, we think it’s important to limit the number of people admitted to the festival each day. If you’re a food truck fan—and who isn’t - be sure to purchase your tickets early online!

Do I get free samples from the Food Trucks?
We are supporting a burgeoning food industry, so there will not be free samplings from the Food Trucks.
