Send me the listOne of Denville’s favorite fall traditions is coming back for another year. The Denville Food Truck Festival returns to Gardner Field at 2 Savage Road on Sunday, October 4, 2026, from noon to 6 p.m., with a full lineup of food trucks, live music, a local vendor market, and cold beer for the grown-ups. Admission is free, parking is free, and the event runs rain or shine.
What to Expect
The festival packs a little of everything into one afternoon at Gardner Field. Food trucks roll in with everything from savory street food to sweet treats, so you can graze your way through lunch and still leave room for dessert. Live music plays throughout the day, a retail market showcases local vendors, and there is a beer garden for anyone 21 and over.
Families are part of the plan, too. Kids can count on bounce houses and activities set up just for them, which makes this an easy Sunday outing for all ages. You can reserve a free general admission ticket on Eventbrite ahead of time.
Free to Attend, With Free Parking
General admission is free and so is parking at Gardner Field, so the only thing you need to budget for is what you eat, drink, and play. Doors open at noon and the trucks serve until 6 p.m. The festival is held rain or shine, and it is an all ages event.
A Fundraiser for Denville PAL and American Legion Post 390
The festival is hosted by Two Girls Media, and it is more than just a fun afternoon. Proceeds benefit Denville PAL, which runs youth sports programs in town, and American Legion Post 390. Food truck operators and local businesses that want to take part can fill out the vendor inquiry form.
If You Go
Gardner Field sits at 2 Savage Road in Denville, an easy drive off Route 46 and Interstate 80. Bring the family, come hungry, and plan to stay a while.
