Reading context and market information
Reading's food-truck-event scene runs through three long-running Berks County farmers markets rather than one flagship downtown market: Boscov's Fairgrounds Farmers Market on N 5th Street Highway (open Thursday through Saturday, year-round), the Leesport Farmers Market just north of the city (Wednesdays, year-round, rain or shine), and the Kutztown Main Street Growers Market (Thursday evenings through October) in nearby Kutztown. Each market is independently owned and run, so hours, season, and vendor policy vary by market. Reading is also home to a busy concert and sports calendar -- Reading Fightin Phils minor-league baseball, and touring concerts at the Santander Arena and Santander Performing Arts Center -- which food trucks and vendors work separately from the farmers-market circuit.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is there one central farmers market for the Reading area?
No -- Reading-area food-truck activity is spread across three independently run markets: Boscov's Fairgrounds Farmers Market (Thu-Sat, year-round, N 5th St Hwy), Leesport Farmers Market (Wednesdays, year-round), and the Kutztown Main Street Growers Market (Thursday evenings through October).
How do I apply to vend at a Reading-area farmers market?
Applications go through each individual market, not one countywide process -- contact Boscov's Fairgrounds Farmers Market, Leesport Farmers Market, or the Kutztown Main Street Growers Market directly through their own websites or Facebook pages for vendor sign-up.
Do I need a permit to operate a food truck in Reading, PA?
Yes -- Berks County health permitting and City of Reading licensing apply regardless of which market or event you're vending at.
What other food truck events happen in Reading besides farmers markets?
StreetLegal's live event list for Reading also includes Reading Fightin Phils minor-league baseball games and touring concerts at The Santander Arena and The Santander Performing Arts Center -- major crowd events that draw their own food-vendor activity separate from the weekend farmers-market circuit.
