How we source listings

We collect publicly available information about food-truck vending opportunities, festivals, fairs, commissaries, and similar programs from organizer websites, public feeds, and public calendars. We then write a short summary in our own words and link back to the original page so you can confirm dates, fees, and how to apply.

What we will and will not collect from

We read a site's robots.txt and skip a source when the path is disallowed. We do not scrape Facebook, Instagram, or any site that requires a login. We do not bypass paywalls or other access controls. We do not invent application URLs, fees, or dates. If a field is missing or unclear, we leave it out or say so.

Review before something goes live

New sources start in a review queue. Nothing from a new source is published automatically until a person has reviewed what that source produces and turned on further publishing for it. Bot-written summaries are a short description of the fields we could read; they are not a copy of the organizer's page, and they are not a promise about the event. The original page is always linked.

We may edit, expire, or remove a listing for accuracy, policy, or legal reasons. Organizers are responsible for their own events and applications. A listing on this site is information, not a booking or a permit. More of that is in our terms of use and editorial policy.

Removals and corrections

If you want a listing removed, or you see something wrong, send a removal request or a correction, or email contact@thefoodtruckguide.com. Removal requests go to the review queue. We aim to handle them within 48 hours.
