If you’re headed to Mempho Music Festival this weekend, be sure to go hungry. The festival’s organizers are bringing together an all-star line-up of great eats.
General admission attendees will be able to purchase a variety of food and beverage offerings from food trucks such as Bougie Burger, Chaotic Coffee, Cosmic Charlies Grateful Grill, FreeWheelin Pizzeria, Lil’ Cheese, Mempops, Peace Love Quesadillas, Pronto Pups and The Bowl Joint.
A Pronto Pup is always one of my favorite festival snacks, but at this music festival, I make sure to stop by the VIP area for a bite.
In addition to the general admission offerings, Mempho organizers have also planned a special, complimentary dining experience for VIP ticket holders: the Lexus Live Fire experience.
