Food Trucks

The City of Hilliard hosts two events that include food trucks, Freedom Fest, our Independence Day event, and Fall Festival, which falls in mid-September. These events are hosted in Roger A. Reynolds Municipal Park.

We book our food trucks through COFTA (Central Ohio Food Truck Association). To register for City of Hilliard events, all food trucks must be a member of COFTA. The registration for both events takes place at the beginning of February on COFTA’s website.  These spots are first-come-first-served and do fill up fast. Contact COFTA for further questions.
