Food Trucks for Private Events in State Parks 

Park patrons who wish to hire a food truck for a special event must select a food truck from this list or ask their desired food truck to register as an approved food truck.
 
Here's what you need to know:  
  1. The organizer of any event requesting a food truck should first contact the park management at the Rhode Island State Park where they are hoping to host the event. You can find a list of parks and their phone numbers at riparks.com. Any proposed event must stay within social gathering limits and abide by any other restrictions associated with the COVID-19 public health emergency, and approval of your event is at the discretion of park management.
  2. Park patrons who wish to hire a food truck for a private gathering must select a food truck from the list of Approved Food Trucks for RI State Parks or ask their desired food truck to register as an Approved Food Truck.
  3. Food trucks serving private events may not park in the spaces designated for the State Park Food Truck Program. The park management will instruct you where the food truck may park for private events.
  4. There is no charge for food trucks to serve at a private event, but they are not permitted to serve the general public and must be paid directly by the host of the event.
  5. If food trucks have any questions about how to become an Approved Food Truck in the State Park Program, email Cindy Elder or call 401-465-9605.

 

Food Truck Registration

How to Register My Food Truck 
 
It's easy to register your food truck with Rhode Island State Park's Food Truck Program. Here's how to get started:
 
1. Create your Community Profile with login and password. Once you're logged in, you can proceed. Every time you use the site, start by logging in.
 
2. Go to the registration page and complete the Food Truck Profile form. Be prepared to upload your current Rhode Island Mobile Food Establishment (MFE) license, issued by the Rhode Island Department of Business Regulations. You will also need to upload a Certificate of Insurance (COI), naming "the State of Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management as additionally insured on a primary and non-contributory basis and subrogation is waived for the additional insured." Here's an example to show your insurance company.
 
3. You'll receive an email from RI State Parks when your registration has been approved, providing details on how you can begin booking spaces at designated food truck spots in state parks throughout Rhode Island. If you have any questions, please email Cindy Elder.
