ABOUT THE NFTA
The Nashville Food Truck Association (NFTA) is a coalition of local, independently owned food trucks committed to elevating the mobile food scene in and around Music City. Founded with the vision of creating a unified voice for Nashville’s food truck operators, the NFTA serves as a platform for connection, advocacy, and collaboration.
Our members represent the best of what Nashville has to offer — from barbecue to sweet treats to bold international flavors. Together, we roll through festivals, corporate parks, neighborhoods, and private events with one shared goal: to bring incredible food and community wherever we go.
But we’re more than just meals on wheels. We’re a movement of passionate chefs, small business owners, and creatives who believe in the power of food to bring people together. Through partnerships, events, and community outreach, we work to keep the mobile food industry thriving and accessible.
Whether you're a foodie, a local business, an event organizer, or a fellow truck owner — there's a place for you in our circle. Welcome to the table.
More Than Just Meals

It is important to note, the NFTA does NOT serve as a booking agency but rather strives to connect our members independently with clients. We feel it is important to the industry for truckers to be empowered and encouraged to control their own respective business practices and work to maintain their individual level of excellence within the industry. Please visit our member pages to book individual food trucks directly or our book a food truck page to have multiple members contacted for your next event!
