New Food Truck Park in Belfast, Maine, Sets Grand Opening
Now that Maine is firmly established as a culinary destination for travelers, many of the visitors to the state want to try as much Maine cuisine as they can in a short amount of time. One of the ways to accomplish that? Smaller bites courtesy of food trucks.
Food trucks have found footing in the Pine Tree State. From festivals to concerts to parking outside of breweries, the mobile food game has never been stronger in Maine.
And it's about to get a little bit stronger as a new food truck park is set to open in June along a busy section of Route 1 in Belfast.
Cheeky Food Truck Park Taking Over the Space Left Behind by the Wentworth Convention Center
The new food truck park will be called Cheeky after a name change from the intial concept. The park will sit on the former site of the Wentworth Convention Center, overlooking the gorgeous Penobscot Bay.
The Wentworth Convention Center unfortunately folded due to the an accidental fire in 2023. But with that came an opportunity and while the food truck park won't be a destination for weddings and anniversaries, it will allow people to still enjoy the same stunning views.
Cheeky Food Truck Park Officially Has a Grand Opening Date
Located at 139 Searsport Avenue in Belfast, Cheeky Food Truck Park will officially have their grand opening on Wednesday, June 11.
Similar to Maine's most prodigious food truck park, Congdon's in Wells, Cheeky hopes to be a gathering spot for both locals and passers through during Maine's busy summer months.
Cheeky offers a comprehensive calendar on their website of which food trucks will be at the park on certain dates. It also allows visitors to plan ahead on dates when the park will be closed.
