RESIDENT & VISITOR FAQ’S
Whether you're new to the community or just visiting, here are answers to some frequently asked questions.
-
Please check our Food Truck Schedule for the most up to date calendar of scheduled trucks. Not all trucks have a set schedule so the lineup can vary week to week. Any last minute changes will also be reflected on the calendar.
Same day changes do occasionally happen. These updates come directly from the trucks and are automatically posted to the top of the calendar as an all day notice.
-
Each approved food truck has a directory page, their profile will include a copy of their menu, or a link to order if applicable. Visit the food truck directory page to find your favorite trucks menu.
-
All trucks we schedule are parked in the parking lot at the Festival Foothills Private HOA Park located at 26252 W Desert Vista Blvd, Buckeye, AZ 85396
-
Yes, even though the food trucks are parked at the Festival Foothills Private HOA Park, they are open to everyone, including the general public.
-
We offer availability 7 days a week, between 6am-10pm. All trucks are in charge of their own schedule and requesting dates to book with us. Some trucks book a pretty regular schedule, and others book more sporadically. Breakfast and lunch trucks are generally schedule between 8am-noon and dinner trucks generally schedule between 4-8pm, but they are not limited to those set hours. Please check the schedule to see what is currently planned.
-
We book up to 2 trucks per shift, with the exception of special events where we may book more.
-
If a truck is currently approved to schedule with us, you’ll find them listed on our Food Truck Directory page.
If a truck appears on the directory but doesn’t have any upcoming dates, it simply means they haven’t requested any. You can check their Availability tab for any updates they’ve shared. If there’s nothing listed, they haven’t provided a reason for not scheduling. Vendors set their own schedules.
If a truck is not on the directory, it typically means one of two things:
They chose not to renew their agreement with us. This could be they decided we were not a good fit after a trial day or due to missing documents that were never updated.
Or, they were removed for administrative or attendance-related reasons.
Vendors that have been removed from our directory are always welcome to reach back out if they’re interested in renewing their agreement, but it’s their responsibility to initiate that process.
-
Yes, you sure can! You can go to our suggest a food truck page and submit their contact information. If we haven’t already connected with them, we’ll reach out. If they’re interested and meet our requirements, we’d be happy to get them on the schedule.
Please note, because we receive a high number of suggestions and each one takes time to follow up on, we only contact vendors once. After that, it’s up to them to get back to us. We’re not able to continue following up with vendors who don’t respond.
-
Due to local regulations, city permit requirements and because we operate on private property, we are unable to schedule cottage food vendors at our private HOA park unless they have the proper licensing. However, cottage vendors are welcome to join our business directory and promote their services that way.
If you are not a cottage food vendor and you have the proper licensing, we would love to get you on our approved vendor list. To get started, please visit our new vendor application page to complete the form and upload all required documents. Once your licensing and permits are verified, our coordinator will reach out to you with the next steps to get you scheduled.

All Food Trucks at Festival Foothills HOA park are organized by our resident coordinator, Dawn Ankrom.
Occasionally, Sun City Festival may schedule their own food trucks for private, resident-only events held at their community properties. These events are not coordinated by us, so please reach out to the Sun City Festival HOA directly with any questions regarding them.
