The McAllen Food Truck Park will close Jan. 14, 2027, after 11 years of supporting local entrepreneurs, as city officials work with the McAllen Chamber of Commerce to identify alternative locations for affected vendors.
In a statement, McAllen City Commissioner Michael Fallek said the city and chamber agreed to extend the park’s operations through the holiday season to give vendors more time before the closure.
“It is always sad to see a beloved program end, especially when we know it has given so many people the opportunity to start a business and make a lasting impact in our community,” Fallek said.
The city helped launch the programs 11 years ago, creating opportunities for food vendors and contributing to the character of McAllen’s District 5.
