Boston Calling 2025 will feature a robust lineup of over 30 food vendors at the Harvard Athletic Complex, catering to the 40,000+ daily attendees from May 23–25. Expect a mix of local Boston favorites and festival staples, showcasing New England’s culinary scene. Past years included Dumpling Daughter’s Chinese dumplings, Lily P’s Fried Chicken, and The Smoke Shop BBQ’s massive BBQ cones (burnt ends, mac and cheese, beans)—2025 should bring back these heavy hitters plus newbies.

Vegan and vegetarian options will be plentiful, with vendors like The Chubby Chickpea, Zinneken’s waffles, and FoMu ice cream offering plant-based eats. Gluten-free choices, like Riceburg’s rice bowls, cater to dietary needs too. The DoorDash Food Village, a returning feature, highlights partnered restaurants for quick ordering via the app. Food is cashless—link your wristband to a card for taps at stalls. Prices typically range from $8–$15 per item, with portions sized for snacking between sets by Luke Combs or Fall Out Boy.

Free water stations pair with eats to keep you hydrated. Exact vendors will be announced closer to the event on bostoncalling.com—check the map for locations.
