Mount Kisco Food Truck Festival

If you are looking for a fun event for the family right here in Mount Kisco, head over to the Food Truck Festival on June 1! This is an event that first started in 2019, didn’t happen in 2020 and 2021 due to the pandemic, returned in 2022, happened again in 2023, and is returning this year for the fourth time. The event serves as a fundraiser for Leonard Park, is held behind Village Hall, and will go from 4:00-8:00, as opposed to all the previous years when it went from 12:00-6:00. In this post, I will be going over the food trucks that have been there in the past and the food trucks that are confirmed to be there this year, and what they sell.
