Downtown workers get a perk with a weekly lunch break at Civic Center Park, which will fill up with food trucks every Wednesday and Thursday throughout the summer

Here’s an excuse to go touch park grass in the middle of your work day — and sample some good eats from small, local businesses while you’re at it.

Civic Center Eats returns on Wednesday with more than a dozen food trucks taking over Bannock Street and the Civic Center Park Meadow. It continues every Wednesday and Thursday through Oct. 15.

The weekly event will host more than 54 food trucks and emphasizes both local favorites and new and emerging businesses, with something for everyone with gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan options

2026 Season Schedule Dates

Spring: 11 a.m.-2 p.m., May 13 – June 25
Summer: July 8 – Aug. 27
Fall: Sept. 9 – Oct. 15
NO EATS on the following dates: 7/1, 7/2, 8/12, 8/13, 9/2, and 9/3

The event focuses on doing good within the community by supporting a diverse set of small, Colorado-owned businesses, with more than 80% operated by either women or people of color.

The event also emphasizes sustainability with a waste program and a work program that connects youth with entry-level positions.

There is a different lineup of food trucks depending on which day is your “in-office” day, so be sure to check out this vendor list for more info on who’s serving up the good stuff:
