Boston has launched a Late Night Food Truck Program aimed at enhancing the city’s after-hours dining options. Announced by Mayor Michelle Wu, this initiative is designed to support small businesses while providing increased food accessibility in the evenings.
The program will operate across seven designated locations throughout the city, specifically targeted for the summer and fall seasons. Food trucks will be able to serve customers during late-night hours, catering to those looking for meals after traditional dining establishments have closed.
Food truck operators interested in participating must enter a lottery system for a chance to secure a spot in the program. The registration deadline for interested food truck operators is Wednesday, June 4, with the lottery drawing set to take place on June 6 at 4 p.m. To register, operators must complete an online form and submit the required documentation.

The introduction of this program is a direct response to community feedback advocating for more late-night food options. According to Corean Reynolds, the director of Nightlife Economy, this initiative addresses a key need within the community, enhancing the overall late-night experience.
Mayor Wu has emphasized her ongoing commitment to fostering food business opportunities in Boston, referencing her early efforts to introduce food trucks to the city. The program has been framed as a method to not only assist existing food businesses but also to revitalize the local nightlife culture.
District 8 City Councilor Sharon Durkan has lauded the program as a “win” for various communities, indicating that it will specifically benefit late-shift workers and students who often seek food options during late hours. Additionally, Jen Faigel, cofounder of the food business incubator CommonWealth Kitchen, noted that the program will support food trucks that are still recovering from the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.
This Late Night Food Truck Program is positioned as a crucial strategy for invigorating Boston’s nightlife and providing valuable support to local entrepreneurs. By expanding dining options during late hours, it aims not just to enhance food accessibility but also to stimulate the local economy and encourage small business growth.
As the city prepares to roll out this new initiative, both residents and visitors can look forward to enjoying a greater variety of late-night dining choices throughout the summer and fall months.
