Food Trucks & Nonprofit Booths
Serve It. Share It. Be Part of the Fun.
Great food and strong community connections are a big part of what makes Gypsum Daze special. We invite food truck vendors and nonprofit organizations to join us for this beloved community celebration, happening July 16–18, 2026. Food trucks and nonprofit booths participate during the main event days, July 17–18.
Food trucks must apply, submit a deposit, and be reviewed for participation to help us create a diverse and exciting Food Court experience. Nonprofit organizations are welcome to register for a booth to connect with the community and share their mission.
Below, you’ll find application and registration links along with important event details, including fees, setup information, parking, and event guidelines. We look forward to celebrating with you at Gypsum Daze!
