Street food completes the summertime experience in Fargo-Moorhead. Grab a bite before, during or after your favorite summer event.
Local Food Trucks
Fargo has some pretty darn good street food (see pics below).
Being we’re up north, the seasons in Fargo go like this: Fall, Winter, Spring, Food Trucks… though you can find some of these four-wheeled restaurants all year round.
From 11:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. on Thursdays and Fridays in the summer, food trucks hang out at the Fargo Food Truck Park (officially, 409 Broadway in Downtown Fargo). On Fridays from 10:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m., a number of food trucks will also park just south of Fargo’s City Hall for “Food Truck Fridays”.
Otherwise, these food trucks get around, so we’ve linked their Facebook pages and this Food Truck Locator or you to find the most up-to-date info.
