Every year from April to September, the Public Market in Rochester holds Food Truck Rodeos on the last Wednesday of each month from 5-9PM. Every Wednesday it is held, there’s live music along with multiple food trucks offering everything you want!

History

Food Truck Rodeos were started by Jim Farr in 2011 when he attended a similar event in Orlando, Florida. When he returned from the event, he loved the idea and pitched it to his staff and the owner of Rohrbach’s Brewery, John Urlaub, worked with Jim Farr to create Food Truck Rodeos. 

Rules You Should Know

Before going to the Rodeos, you should know these rules.

  • No shirt, no shoes, no entry
  • No smoking in or under sheds
  • No pets except for service animals
  • All bags are subject to search
  • Each guest may bring in one sealed bottle of water; no other food or beverages

How To Go Prepared

Food Truck Rodeo brings in a ton of people, but has limited seating so it is recommended that you bring some extra chairs or even a folding table so you can enjoy your food without having to sit on the ground or stand.
