Who doesn't love a good food truck, right?  What if you had a whole bunch of them together in one place - it's like an.... extravaganza!  Oh, maybe that's why they called it that.

This Saturday, June 20th, is a Food Truck Extravaganza near Stillwater, Minnesota.  I get that it's a bit of a drive, but if you haven't been to Stillwater, it's definitely worth the drive.  It's such a great town full of fun, history, great shops, hotels and restaurants.  And this Saturday, Food Trucks!

The Greater Stillwater Chamber of Commerce is thrilled to announce the return of the popular 2026 Food Truck Extravaganza, taking place on Saturday, June 20 at the Washington County Fairgrounds. This must-attend event brings together a diverse lineup of food trucks, live entertainment, family-friendly activities, and a vibrant atmosphere celebrating our community’s love of food and fun.

THIS IS A PET FRIENDLY EVENT

If you have a pet, they are more than welcome, too.  It's just that your pet needs to be on a leash in order to be at the festival.

IS THERE ANY COST TO THE EVENT

Yes, but not too bad.

On-Site Entry Fee: $5 per person, Kids 10 and under are FREE
Cash and credit cards accepted for entry fee and at most food and Marketplace vendors.
ATM is also available on-site. Entry tickets can only be purchased on site, no pre-sale

PROCEEDS GO TO A GREAT CAUSE TOO

A PORTION OF THE ENTRY FEE PROCEEDS GO TO THE STILLWATER AREA HIGH SCHOOL TRADES SCHOLARSHIP FUND

I don't know about you, but when there is a good cause attached to the price of admission, it makes me feel a bit better about having to pay that fee.

MORE THAN JUST A FOOD TRUCK EVENT

If you have kids, and they aren't that interested in the food, this event has something for everyone.

Beyond the food, the event will include live music performances, a kids’ activity zone, military row, a marketplace featuring local vendors, and much more. The Food Truck Extravaganza is a family-friendly event, and PET Friendly (Pets must be leashed), welcoming guests of all ages.

There will also be about 400 food trucks at this event.  I didn't even realize there were 400 food trucks around the area!  That is a lot of food trucks.  Love it!!!

LOOK: 20 Discontinued McDonald's Menu Items You'll Never See Again

Discontinued McDonald's items tell the story of eight decades of quiet experiments, from a pizza that took too long to cook to a lobster roll that never made financial sense. Some disappeared overnight with no explanation, others were cut to streamline operations, and a few became cultural phenomena long after they were gone.
