About Montclair
Why Montclair Loves Food Truck Catering
There's a reason food trucks have become the go-to catering choice for Montclair events. Montclair is an arts-and-dining town with a large university on its edge, and its school fundraisers, street fairs and film festival keep community catering busy from spring to fall.
Local favorites like Tacos, Pizza, Vegan are always in demand, and venues like Brookdale Park and Edgemont Memorial Park make perfect backdrops for outdoor food truck events.
Food Truck Club takes the guesswork out of booking by matching your event with trucks that know the Essex County area and can navigate local logistics smoothly.
