Building on the success of last year’s KSHTA event, which saw the participation of many food trucks, the Flag Island calls on owners of food, desserts, hot and cold beverages, and ice cream trucks as well as other national F&B projects and business entrepreneurs, to participate and sponsor in this year’s edition of the event, which runs from 1 November 2018 to 1 February 2019.

Registration is open to all food trucks, in line with Flag Island’s dedication to promote a variety of touristic experiences that cater to all visitors and give them the opportunity to enjoy along with their families and friends.

The KSHTA event involves F&B trucks, lined up symmetrically, leveraging the beauty of the Flag Island which is one of Sharjah’s premiere leisure, tourist and family destinations. This year, the event comprises of plethora of music concerts, entertainment shows, and art performances that aims to nurture visitors’ outdoor experience at the destination.

Khuloud Salim Al Junaibi, Manager of The Flag Island, said: “Following the remarkable success of the KSHTA event last year, we decided to curate the event at a broader scale this year. We call on all F&B experts to take part in this event and contribute to providing quality leisure experience to visitors from the UAE and the region.”

“We look forward to welcoming the largest number of F&B trucks, as the event will kick start with the onset of winter in the UAE, giving individuals and families the opportunity to enjoy the outdoor attractions in the island. Building on the success that we achieved last year, we anticipate the participation of a larger number of F&B trucks in this year’s event, and we also anticipate a considerable foot-fall of visitors,” she added.
