Calvert City Food Truck Friday started in Memorial Park with six food trucks lined up to serve on May 3.
Calvert City organized the first Food Truck Friday in 2019. “Over the last six years, food trucks have become common in Calvert City. We started with three trucks and now we are up to 21 in rotation. The struggle to find a safe place in the city was difficult. This event allows food trucks to safely park their trucks in a high-traffic area during our busy lunch hours,” says Blair Travis, director of marketing and business development for Calvert City.
The event runs every Friday in the spring and summer. Hours of operation are May – July from 10:30 AM – 1:30 PM. Friday’s in August – September will be held in the evening from 4:30 PM – 7:30 PM in Memorial Park.
The list of food trucks is posted weekly on Calvert City’s Facebook and Instagram. There is no charge to set up a food truck or food tent. If electricity is requested there is a $10 charge each Friday.
Within the city to sell food from a food truck, a zoning compliance form is required. The one-time fee is $25 which allows food trucks to set up in business districts in the city. To download the zoning compliance form, click HERE and bring the completed form to Calvert City Hall located at 861 5th Ave in Calvert City, Kentucky. City Hall Hours of operation are Monday-Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
