Food at Paradise City: 100% meat free.
Good music should come with good food – and good food doesn't have to harm our ecosystem. Paradise City has been awarded the Greener Catering Award 2023 by A Greener Future, a non-profit organization that evaluates the sustainability data of music festivals worldwide. Our menu is entirely vegetarian, and our food trucks serve delicious meals with the lowest possible environmental impact. All ingredients are seasonal and local, served in compostable or washable tableware. Additionally, in anticipation of Paradise City, our food curator helps each food truck make its menu more sustainable. Here are the 17 food trucks on our food court this year.
