What it was like
Come hungry. That is the only requirement.
FoodieLand is the nation's largest food festival — 250+ vendors packed into Del Mar Fairgrounds across three evenings in May, each one running 3 PM to 10 PM. This is not a county fair with funnel cakes and a corn dog stand. It is a full passport stamp: Korean BBQ next to Oaxacan tacos next to Taiwanese shaved ice next to wood-fired Argentine empanadas. Festival-only menu items that vendors do not sell anywhere else. Artisan shops. Live music threading through the crowd. Games. The smell of a dozen cuisines hitting you at the same time and somehow all of it working.
They built it for people with dietary needs too — kosher, halal, gluten-free, vegan, and vegetarian options spread throughout the grounds, not tucked into a corner.
Tickets are $12 in advance on Eventbrite. Children 5 and under get in free. There is no gate sale — buy before you go. Parking is $16 online or $20 at the gate via Del Mar Fairgrounds. Bring cash; not every vendor runs a card reader, and the ATMs on-site will have lines by 5 PM. No re-entry, so pace yourself and stay the full seven hours. You will need them.
Follow @foodielandsd for vendor announcements and drop lineups before the weekend.
