Revere Food Trucks
Food Truck Locations
Food trucks are allowed to operate at two locations throughout the year, and two additional locations during the summer season with appropriate permits.
The two full year locations are on Shirley Avenue: one in front of the municipal parking lot, and the other in front of 161 Shirley Avenue.
The two summer locations are on a paved pathway accessed on Ocean Avenue between Beach Street and Chester Avenue. Food trucks operating at this location must be off the pathway no later than 8 p.m.
All food truck locations will have trucks from 11am to 8pm, with a "shift change" scheduled each day at 3:30pm for a new truck to come in.
Operating a food truck anywhere in the city without the authorization of the Revere License Commission is strictly prohibited.
