A street full of good food — 15 days only.
20 trucks. 15 days. Global flavor on Walton Street.
Global Grub Alley turns Walton Street into a pedestrian-only corridor for fifteen days during the 2026 FIFA World Cup in Atlanta. Up to twenty Atlanta-area trucks line a short two-block stretch from Centennial Olympic Park Drive to Fairlie Street.
The trucks don’t take over the street — they add to it. They pull up alongside the bars, cafés, and restaurants that already make this block worth the walk, turning a great downtown street into a full-on food destination.
One block from the official FIFA Fan Festival at Centennial Olympic Park. Free admission, no ticket required — just pay per item at each truck. Walk up hungry.

“Global Grub Alley puts our small business owners and our food culture on the street, next to the biggest stage in the world. You will not need a ticket to be a part of it. You will just need to be hungry.” Kelsey Maynor — Director of Small Business Engagement, Showcase Atlanta
