Moncus Park welcomes all food and specialty trucks to join our Approved Vendor List for events and programming at the park. Approved vendors are viewed on our website and provided to clients seeking food and speciality trucks for their events. Speciality trucks are identified as beverage and dessert trucks that do not sell food menu items exclusively as food trucks.
All vendors must provide proof of insurance listing Moncus Park as additionally insured, and pay a security deposit of $100 to be kept on file. In the event that damage is done to park grounds and all or part of the security deposit will be used to cover the cost to remedy any damage. Vendor will be required to submit another security deposit or bring the balance to $100 before operating in the park.
