Fresno, CA - The Central Valley’s biggest food and music festival is back this weekend as Taco Truck Throwdown 14 takes over Chukchansi Park this Saturday, November 8. The annual tradition, presented by Fiesta Auto Insurance, brings together the Valley’s best taco trucks, incredible live performances, and signature competitions for an unforgettable night of food, music, and culture.

Headlining this year’s entertainment lineup are Bay Area rap legend E-40, R&B icons The S.O.S. Band, hip-hop hitmaker Baby Bash, and freestyle star Connie, as well as local recording artist MiaMei and more, with live sets lighting up the Chukchansi Park stage all night long.

“We are all ready for a night of tacos, live music, wrestling, and so much more,” said Derek Franks, president of the Fresno Grizzlies. “The community has made it clear that they are ready to party, and we can’t wait to make Chukchansi Park the taco epicenter of the world on Saturday.”

Fans can indulge in tacos from more than two dozen of the region’s top taco trucks battling for the title of Taco Truck Throwdown Champion, plus sample and vote in the festival’s popular Michelada Throwdown and Salsa Throwdown competitions.
