I am back home, and of course, food found me straight away.
I was driving through West Auckland when I spotted something buzzing at Harbourview Orangihina Park. You know that feeling when you see lights, people, and movement from a distance and instantly know something good is happening.
Music in the air.
Lights glowing.
Food trucks everywhere.
This is Bites & Beats.
First impressions
Here is the painful part.
I had just finished a full family barbecue at my niece’s place. Proper feast. Absolutely no stomach space left.
But curiosity won.
I pulled over just to look, telling myself I would be in and out in five minutes. That plan failed instantly.
The park was alive. Families, couples, groups of friends, kids running around, music playing, and the smell of food coming from every direction. This is exactly what summer in Auckland should feel like.
The food truck lineup
There were so many food trucks, and not just one type either. Proper variety. Burgers, fried food, comfort food, and crowd favourites.
Even Oporto was there, which honestly says a lot about how big this event is getting. When major brands show up alongside local vendors, you know it is drawing serious crowds.
Sadly, I did not eat a single bite. Watching people walk past with loaded trays and smelling everything made it even harder. Self-control was tested and barely passed.
When and where
Bites & Beats is happening at Harbourview Orangihina Park in West Auckland and runs until the 21st of December. If you are anywhere nearby and wondering what to do in the evening, this is an easy yes.
No fancy setup.
No stress.
Just food, music, and good vibes by the water.
Help me out
I might try to come back tomorrow if timing allows, but if I do not, I need you to help me out.
Go eat for me.
Tell me what you try.
Tell me what is actually worth it.
Because next time, I am coming hungry.
So tell me, what should I eat first 😌🍔🎶
