After skipping a year for the pandemic, the Shippensburg University Food Truck Festival made a tasty return on Friday, Oct. 22.

Close to 1,000 people attended and 700 of those people were students according to Michael Duignan, executive director for campus life and university union.  

The circle around the fountain of Old Main was full of students eating hot, fresh food and enjoying the live music. Student attendees got a wristband from the organizers and were able to get one food truck meal free.

This year’s festival featured nine trucks including Ship Catering’s new food truck. The food truck guides available had all the vendors listed with indicators to show if they were vegetarian or vegan friendly. 

Kona Ice, Taco Trap House, Rebelz Mobile Cuisine, CJ’s Takeout, Milk N’ Mor, Ship Catering, Redemption BBQ, Pretzel Spot and Uncle Eddie’s BBQ trucks were all set up and serving food by 6 p.m. 

The 2021 festival served as a reminder to students that through diligent effort things can return after the pandemic. The festival began in 2018 with just four trucks and has since become a much loved and anticipated campus event for students and alumni. 

On Friday, the event featured live music played by Noah and The Rubberband. Noah Steinfeldt is a senior social work major at Shippensburg University. The In Motion Dance Troupe also performed for the festival. 

The Activities Programing Board (APB) was thankful to the Homecoming Committee which they said provided them with many volunteers. Kayla Garrett, assistant director of engagement at Shippensburg University was credited with organizing, planning and coordinating food trucks.
