Come downtown for our Summer Food Truck Rodeo, one of the longest standing events at DCP! Our rodeos feature trucks and drink vendors of all types for you to enjoy in the park or as you’re passing through. Durham Central Park Food Truck Rodeos aren’t just a great place to relax and eat great local street food, they also support Durham Central Park. These events raise much needed funds that help to operate, beautify, program and improve the park’s five acres.

Durham Central Park’s Summer Food Truck Rodeo returns on Sunday, May 31 with dozens of local food trucks, craft beverages, family activities, and a new feature inside the Beer Garden: Durham Club Fair for Adults!

Spend the afternoon exploring food from across the Triangle while discovering clubs, hobby groups, recreational leagues, volunteer organizations, and social communities designed to help adults connect and build community in Durham. Whether you’re looking for a running club, arts group, book club, volunteer opportunity, or just new people to meet, the Club Fair is your chance to find your people.

Sign up for our newsletter to get our Rodeo map, updates on non-profit part times and family activities, and be the first to get the truck lineup!

Volunteer at our rodeos! We rely on volunteers to help make Rodeos happen. Because we appreciate all our volunteers, they can earn credit hours and Truck Bucks to spend with any vendor. We have jobs for all ages and abilities- set up, staffing the table, breakdown and keeping our event waste-free. Click here to sign up to volunteer!
