Fairbanks Youth Soccer Association will hold our annual Fairbanks Food Truck Rally on Friday, June 21st from 3pm to 9pm, at the FYSA soccer field complex at 1901 Wilbur Street. We are excited to see this event return for the 8th year! Free entry to the public.

The quantity, quality and variety of mobile food vendors in the Fairbanks area is amazing. Many families in our community would love the opportunity to try as many of these cuisines as possible but the mobile nature of these vendors sometimes makes this difficult. Finding that 'best-thing-I-ever-ate' is always a fun adventure so we bring together as many vendors in one place, for one night, and invite all of Fairbanks to come see what they have to offer.

Make it a picnic for the whole family or stop by and try something new on your way to other evening plans. The complex will be open to the public and we encourage those who'd like to enjoy our beautiful green space to kick a ball around, play soccer tennis, fly a kite, toss a football or just enjoy an evening among friends. Be sure to Like us on Facebook and follow the event for updates on committed vendors and planned activities.

Regulation & Permit Info Vendors must be up to date with all applicable State of Alaska Dept. of Environmental Conservation regulations and permits, as well as maintain appropriate insurance coverage. Additionally, BOOTH vendors or those who won't be operating out of their regular permitted unit, are encouraged to determine if they're required to apply for a Temporary Food Service Permit as well. 

Business License Info Because this event takes place within the City of Fairbanks, all participating vendors MUST have a current City Business License, no exceptions! (FYSA is fined if our event includes non-licensed vendors). 

Space Rental Fee Info Many venue hosts have set requirements for space rental fees. FYSA is a 501(c)3 non-profit youth organization (EIN 92-0066497) and this NPO status allows for tax-deductible donations. We request that each business donate a minimum of 10% of their sales for the night to support our programs. There are no other booth/space or vendors fees for this event other than this donation. Businesses should always consult with a tax attorney or accountant for specific parameters regarding tax-deductions for donations to non-profits. We'd like to end the night with as few loose ends as possible so please plan to visit with the event coordinator before leaving to make your donation or communicate plans for follow-up. Payment can be made via cash/check/card.

Event Set-Up This year's event will run from 3pm to 9pm. In past years, we occasionally have a large number of vendors show up just barely before the start of the event, trying to get in place and set up, causing a lot of challenges for the event layout and set up. We ask that ALL vendors be in place no later than 2:30pm so that the final 30 minutes can be free from vehicles and trailers moving around as finale preparation are made.

If you are a food vendor, consider yourself automatically approved as a vendor for the Food Truck Rally unless you hear otherwise. NON-food vendors are approved only on case-by-case basis (to avoid duplicate business types) and we will contact you with confirmation.

General Event Info Fairbanks Youth Soccer Association is excited to host our 8th Annual Fairbanks Food Truck Rally which will take place on Friday, June 23rd, 2023. This year's event take place from 3pm to 9pm and vendors are asked to remain the entire duration of the event (i.e. if you close down prior to 9pm, that's ok, but we can't have breakdown traffic through the event until the end of the night). Vendors with lines of customers who want to continue past 9pm are permitted, with the understanding that most others will be closing up shop and heading out for the night. This is a fun, all ages event held at the FYSA complex on Wilbur Street. The following application is primarily for food vendors, but anyone interested in being part of our event who offers other family-friendly products/services is welcome to apply.
