Why You Can't Miss Lombard Food Truck Social on Maple 2026

This 5th annual Foodie Festival lines up eight of Chicagoland’s best food trucks, two live bands, and a beer and wine garden on a closed-off downtown street. A portion of the proceeds goes to the Lombard Historical Society and its work collecting, preserving, and interpreting Lombard’s history. Expect a lively street setting with food options, music, and activities that appeal to families and food lovers alike.

One of the Best Things to Do in Naperville This Weekend

Living near the Riverwalk or Centennial Beach? The Lombard Food Truck Social on Maple makes an easy, upbeat addition to your weekend, close enough for a quick trip yet distinct from typical Naperville spots like Naper Settlement or Century Walk.

It’s a chance to explore a neighboring DuPage community while enjoying fresh air and variety right in the heart of the area.

What to Expect

The evening runs from 4:00 PM to 9:00 PM with family-friendly touches, live performances, and opportunities to tour historic buildings on site. A 50/50 raffle adds extra excitement, with proceeds benefiting the Historical Society’s mission.
