This year marks a special milestone for one of Central Pennsylvania’s most beloved community gatherings — TruckTrek. Now in its tenth year, TruckTrek 2025 continues to serve as a vibrant celebration of local food, art, and neighborhood spirit. What began as a small event for food truck lovers and local artists has grown into a full-day festival that draws thousands of attendees from across the region. Scheduled for Saturday, May 10, 2025, from 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM, the festival will take place along 100–200 West Cherry Street in Palmyra, PA.
As always, it promises a great day filled with delicious food, local talent, and engaging family activities. PA malpractice lawyers know how important events like this are to the heart of our community. We’re proud to support local traditions that bring people together, foster connection, and celebrate the best of what Central PA has to offer.
A Decade of Deliciousness: The Evolution of TruckTrek
When TruckTrek first launched in 2015, it was a modest event — a handful of food trucks, a few art booths, and a curious crowd. But over the years, it’s grown into one of the region’s most anticipated spring festivals. The lineup has expanded to include dozens of food trucks, live entertainment, artist showcases, and fun for all ages.
What sets TruckTrek apart is not just its variety, but its purpose. Since 2018, the event has donated over $20,000 to The Caring Cupboard, a local food pantry in Palmyra. This strong connection to giving back has helped the festival build lasting relationships throughout the community.
Culinary Delights: A Foodie’s Paradise
Food is at the center of the TruckTrek experience. Whether you’re craving classic comfort food or eager to try something new, the festival delivers. Visitors can expect a wide range of cuisines, from BBQ and fried chicken to Korean tacos and gourmet desserts.
Local favorites like Sittin’ Pickin’ Chickin’ have made past appearances, bringing crowd-pleasing dishes and creative takes on familiar flavors. There’s always something unexpected, too — new food trucks often debut at the festival, giving foodies a chance to explore fresh tastes and concepts.
Artistic Expressions: Showcasing Local Talent
Beyond the food, TruckTrek serves as a platform for local artists and makers. The artisan market features handcrafted jewelry, home décor, pottery, paintings, and more — all made by artists from the area.
In addition to browsing and shopping, visitors can watch live demonstrations, getting a closer look at how these works are created.
Entertainment and Activities: Fun for All Ages
TruckTrek isn’t just for food lovers and art fans — it’s also packed with activities for families and children. From live music performances by local musicians to interactive games and exhibits for kids, the festival makes sure there’s something for everyone.
The music lineup helps set a festive tone throughout the day, with performances ranging from acoustic sets to upbeat local bands.
Community and Charity: Giving Back
One of the core missions of TruckTrek is its support for The Caring Cupboard, a local nonprofit providing food assistance to families in need. Proceeds from the festival go directly to this organization, making each ticket, meal, and purchase part of a larger effort to support neighbors and build a stronger community.
The event also depends on volunteers, and many residents pitch in to help organize, run booths, and manage logistics. This level of involvement strengthens community ties and reminds us that everyone has a role to play in creating a supportive and connected town.
Logistics and Planning: What Attendees Need to Know
TruckTrek 2025 will be held on Saturday, May 10, from 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM along West Cherry Street in Palmyra, between South Railroad Street and South Mark Street. To accommodate the event, that stretch of road will be closed to vehicles, so visitors should plan ahead.
Parking near the festival can be limited, so carpooling or using public transportation is recommended. Early arrival is also advised for those looking to snag the best eats and explore the festival at a relaxed pace.

As TruckTrek celebrates its 10th year, it’s clear that this event is more than just a day out — it’s a tradition rooted in community, creativity, and giving. Each year, it brings together neighbors, supports small businesses and nonprofits, and highlights the spirit of Central PA.
