Get ready for the tastiest party of the season! Trucks for the Park is Durham Central Park’s ultimate foodie fundraiser, a private mini food truck rodeo where you can skip the lines and sample some of the best flavors in town.
This year, 17+ local food trucks will pull up to the pavilion, each serving a special bite-sized creation just for the event. Wander from truck to truck with your ticket in hand, sampling everything from savory favorites to sweet treats. Vegetarian options will be available at most trucks, and tickets can easily be shared among a few moderately hungry friends.
Your ticket also includes two drinks from local beer vendors, with a cash bar available for additional beverages. Bring a lawn chair or picnic blanket, gather your favorite food-loving people, and spend the afternoon eating your way through Durham Central Park.
Every bite supports the park, helping keep Durham Central Park welcoming, active, and full of community programming throughout the year.
Our generous vendors will be announced soon!
