A New Food Truck Park is Coming to Freeport, Maine, This June

If you've spent any time in Wells during the past few summers, you know one of the biggest attractions every evening is the lively food truck park next to Congdon's Doughnuts. Congdon's After Dark has become a meeting place for a wide array of tasty bites and cold beer.

The popularity of the food truck park hasn't gone unnoticed. According to the Portland Press Herald, one business in Freeport had a belief that a similar concept could work in Freeport, and immediately got to work making that dream become a reality.

That Freeport business is Athena's Cantina. There's a large parking lot right next to Athena's that often goes unused. Instead of leaving it as a dormant space, why not transform it into yet another reason for people to visit Freeport in the summer?

Athena's Cantina has proposed a food truck that would run tentatively run from June through early November in a low-usage parking lot next to their location. According to Fox 23, that proposal has been approved by the town, and the new food truck park is a go for 2024.

Guests who visit will find a rotating collection of trucks seven days per week. Visitors will be able to order drinks from Athena's Cantina directly, as well as use the restrooms inside the restaurant.

The grand opening for the new food truck park is Friday, June 7. The food truck park will feature plenty of events throughout the summer, including live music, movie nights, and game nights.

The Freeport food truck park's operating hours are:

Monday-Thursdays: 5:30p until 10p

Fridays: 530p until 11p

Saturdays: 11:30a until 11p

Sundays: 11:30a until 10p
