We are located in the Festival Foothills community. Festival Foothills is part of the Festival Ranch development, which also includes Sun City Festival. It is off Sun Valley Parkway, approximately 15 miles West of the 303 & Bell Rd.

Festival Ranch is made up of two neighboring communities.

Festival Foothills is a family-friendly, all-ages neighborhood with approximately 1,200 homes and its own elementary school, making it a vibrant hub for families and young children.

Just next door, Sun City Festival is a 55+ active adult community with around 4,500 homes and another 3,000 planned. With a strong mix of families, retirees, and a growing population, Festival Ranch offers food trucks a unique opportunity to serve a diverse, engaged, and steadily expanding customer base—all in one convenient location.

All Food Trucks at Festival Foothills HOA park are organized by our resident coordinator, Dawn Ankrom, who is also the founder of the Festival Neighbors website. These events are open to the entire Festival Ranch community as well as the general public.

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.

We book food trucks daily for breakfast, lunch or dinner (generally dinner).

We also have a few special events throughout the year. The City of Buckeye sponsors a Spring Concert in the Park and Fall Movie in the Park each year. Residents also have a bi-annual community yard sale and our local community church, The Church at Sun Valley, hosts a Fall Festival and Christmas Festival each year.

Our private HOA park is open for trucks to serve from 6am - 9pm daily.

Trucks may arrive as early as 5am to setup, but breakdown should be completed by 10pm. We may be able to approve additional setup time on a case by case basis.

Additionally, we are closed for bookings between 1-2pm daily to ensure a smooth transition between shifts.

We book up to 2 trucks per shift at this time, with the exception of special events where we may book more.

Vendors are required to submit an update form if they need to cancel any previously confirmed dates or if they are arriving late or leaving early. Updates are automatically synced to our public calendar, making them visible to everyone within minutes of the submission.

Previously, some vendors occasionally failed to provide updates, causing frustration in the community. While on the other hand, removing scheduled dates that vendors cancelled without posting an explanation caused confusion with guests who previously planned around the schedule.

Keeping all changes visible with a note benefits both vendors and guests by avoiding misunderstandings and also ensures we maintain a clear record when providing monthly attendance updates to the HOA.

Since our food trucks take place in a private HOA park and we’re not an event venue or large-scale festival, we can’t guarantee sales, as turnout naturally varies week to week. We do, however, work hard to promote each truck, open the events to the public, and encourage attendance to help make your visit as successful as possible.

Vendors are permitted to park in our private HOA parking lot. The parking lot is paved and there are options to park your truck with your customer window facing East, West or North.

Our park is directly adjacent to our elementary school, sharing the same entrance. We ask that trucks avoid parking in the school parking lot or loading zones. All of these areas are to the right of the entrance. Anywhere to the left is where you want to park.

There is also a restroom available at the park.

No, we do not take a percentage of your sales from any events. However, there is a small annual vendor fee. This is separate from any licensing fees required by the County or City, as well as any booking fees charged by Street Food Finder if you choose to use their app for scheduling. This fee is due with your signed vendor agreement.

We require the following:

• Buckeye Business License

• Maricopa County Health Permit

• Certificate of Insurance listing the HOA as an additional insured

• Signed Annual Vendor Agreement & Annual Fee

We understand that not every vendor operates in each city, but a valid Buckeye business license is required for participation, and we’re unable to make exceptions to this requirement.

We’re an HOA-based community that offers a vendor-friendly, low-cost opportunity for food trucks. With a low annual vendor fee, no commission taken from your sales, and booking availability 7 days a week, including special events, you’ll have ongoing access to a diverse and growing customer base.

In addition, we promote our trucks through a free online food truck directory that boosts your visibility through Google search and SEO, along with optional advertising in our community newsletter to help you reach even more local customers.

Yes, we can get you pre-approved and offer a one time trial day for those that have not been to our location so you can decide if you want to commit. Proper licensing is still required. Please contact us for the next steps.
