State Mobile Food Unit Space

Thank you for your interest in being one of the food trucks at our Holiday Main Street and Parade event. This holly jolly event brings more than 5,000 out to Rowlett Downtown! People enjoy a variety of food trucks, while they do some shopping at the market, and await the parade of lights starting later that evening.

Notice for Mobile Food Unit Applicants:

Per new Texas state law, all Mobile Food Units are now required to apply directly with the state and upload their state permit on Eventeny as part of the application process. Please note that having a state permit does not guarantee automatic approval — our team will still review and approve applications individually based on space availability and food variety needs for the event.
