13th Annual Food Truck Rally
Food, music and community — for a great cause
Each year the Union Centre Food Truck Rally fills The Square with dozens of food trucks, live music from noon until late, and thousands of neighbors — and the proceeds go to a local non-profit.
The date for next year's rally will be announced soon. Sponsors, food trucks and volunteers: watch this page and our newsletter.

Our 2026 beneficiary
Reach Out Lakota
Reach Out Lakota is a lifeline for many families in the Lakota Local School District — West Chester and Liberty Townships — who are facing difficult and often unexpected circumstances. For parents struggling to put food on the table or provide warm clothing and basic necessities for their children, Reach Out Lakota offers hope, dignity and relief in times of need.
Through healthy food, essential clothing, personal hygiene items and critical household supplies, families receive immediate support at no cost — along with referrals and resources that address the root causes of hunger and instability. Every meal served, every coat provided and every family helped is made possible by donors, sponsors and dedicated community volunteers.
The line-up
Our 2026 food trucks
More than 40 food trucks and vendors — something for everyone.
Vote for your favorite truck
Every truck has a QR code (and there's one at the fountain near the UCBMA tent). Each guest can vote once — the winner is announced at the end of the night.
Try more for less
Every food truck offers at least one item for $7 or less, so you can sample more and families can enjoy the rally for less.
Live on stage
Entertainment
Live music from noon until the end of the night.
