🚚❤️ That’s a wrap on the 2026 Lake County Food Truck Fest!

A HUGE thank you to everyone who came out, chowed down, danced, shopped, supported local vendors, and spent the day with us at the fairgrounds. From loaded fries and tacos to lemonade, BBQ, pizza, and sweet treats… you all showed up hungry 😎🍔🌮🍦

Big thanks as well to our incredible food trucks, vendors, volunteers, entertainers, sponsors, and staff who helped make the day such a success.

We already can’t wait to do it all again next year. ❤️
