Road Trip Ready? Maine’s Largest Food Truck Park Is Calling!

A food truck lovers dream exists in the State of Maine, that would make for the perfect summer road trip!

I can't lie, I have a fairly huge obsession with food trucks. I really get obsessed when there are multiple trucks in one space at the same time, so it goes without saying that I have spent more than a few days on the Bangor Waterfront, grabbing lunch.

Food trucks have existed since as early as the 1930s, but they gained their true popularity in more recent decades, after the 2008 recession. At any given time, there are a multitude of trucks out on the streets in the Bangor area, and beyond.

Congdon’s After Dark is New England’s largest food truck park, located in Wells, Maine, adjacent to the iconic Congdon’s Doughnuts.

Since 2017, it has become a must visit summer destination, offering an increidble mix of food, drinks, entertainment, and best of all, the gorgeous Wells Beach is nearby!
