How operators use the map

The same three steps every week. Browse, vet the listing, apply before the deadline.

Filter the map for food trucks

Turn on the Food Trucks Welcome filter and the map shows only events that want a truck, near you or anywhere you are willing to travel.

Check the details that matter

Each listing shows the venue type (outdoor, indoor, both), the booth or vendor fee, and the application deadline, so you can rule out the bad fits before you write a word.

Apply or message the organizer

Apply through VendorsMap and keep the whole conversation in one place. No more digging through Facebook groups to find who runs the event.

What to check before you book

A booked date you have to cancel costs you a better date you turned down. Get clear answers on these before you say yes.

Can your truck work the site?

Exact space dimensions, ground type, and whether the lot drains after rain. Level ground is not optional for a working kitchen.

Power, water, and waste

Are generators allowed and where do they go? Is shore power available, and at what amperage? Where do grey water and grease go?

The payment model, in writing

Flat fee, percentage of sales, or a hybrid. Each shifts the risk differently. Get it in writing before the day.

Attendance and cuisine mix

Roughly one truck per 500 attendees is healthy. Ask whether your cuisine is exclusive so you are not the fourth taco truck.

Food truck questions

How do I find food truck events near me?

Open the VendorsMap map, switch on the Food Trucks Welcome filter, and browse the events near you. Each pin is an event that has told us it wants food trucks, and the listing shows the venue type, booth fee, application deadline, and how to apply.

Does it cost anything to find events?

No. Browsing the map and the food-truck events on it is free. You make a free account when you want to apply to an event or message an organizer.

How far in advance should I book?

The good trucks and the good events both book out about 8 to 12 weeks ahead. Operators who plan their season and apply early get the better dates, so browse weekly and apply before the deadline rather than chasing whatever is still open the week of.

What will an organizer need from my truck?

Usually your truck dimensions and power needs, a current health permit, a fire inspection certificate if you run propane or fryers, and a certificate of insurance. Keep these ready as files so you can apply in minutes.

I organize events. How do I attract food trucks?

Mark your event as food truck friendly so it shows up in the food-truck filter, spell out the venue access and power details trucks care about, and state your fee structure clearly. Our guide on attracting food trucks walks through the rest.
