If you’ve got room in your belly and love for global flavors, this weekend in Asheville is gonna treat you right. The Foodees Food & Culture Festival has rolled into Tanger Outlets Asheville (yep, that’s the old Asheville Outlets / Biltmore Square Mall) — and from Friday, Sept. 19 through Sunday, Sept. 21, 2025, there’s a whole lot of yum and fun waiting.
The Foodees Feast Arrives — Food, Culture & Big Flavor This Weekend in Asheville!
We got out there tonight and snapped some photos of just a few of the many food trucks, treats, sweets, artists, and more. It’s not everything — but it gives a taste of what’s goin’ on.
🌍 What’s the Festival All About

The fest features 40+ food trucks serving up gourmet eats, sweet treats, international flavors, comfort food — everything from street eats to viral bites. Foodees+1

Over 60 artisans & crafters will be there, with handmade goods, unique finds, and local flair,

There’s a Foodees Fun Park with family-friendly activities and interactive stuff, so it’s more than eating — it’s community, culture, connection.

🗺️ A Little Background + Other Stops
-
This traveling festival (by Foodees, LLC) makes stops across the Southeast; it shows up in cities that want to bring more diverse flavors and cultural street-food energy.
-
One past stop was Mebane, NC, also at a Tanger Outlet, earlier this year.
-
Review snippets from Asheville locals: folks are loving the “sweet treats,” “international bites,” and say it’s exactly the kind of diverse food scene many have been wanting more of.
🍽️ Why You Should Go
Because this is the kind of weekend that reminds you: food is a connector. Culture is a flavor. And community is best built when bellies are full and folks are smiling.
Try stuff you’ve never had. Support food trucks who traveled states away. Buy from a crafter, sip something new, let your weekend be more than just routine.
