Vendor FAQ’s

Whether you're a new, current, or potential vendor, here are answers to some common questions from our vendors.

  • 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 an Easter Festival, Fall Festival and Christmas Festival each year.

  • Our private HOA park is open 6am - 10pm daily. Trucks are permitted to book time anytime during those hours.

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

  • 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.

  • We require the following:

    • Buckeye Business License

    • Maricopa County Health Permit

    • Liability Insurance listing our HOA as an additional insured

    • Annual Vendor Agreement

  • 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.

    To make things even easier, we offer a first-day trial through our pre-approval screening application. This gives new vendors a one-time opportunity to try out our location without committing to the annual agreement. After that first day, you can decide if you'd like to move forward by submitting the full application, paying the vendor fee, and signing the agreement.

    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.
