After months of logistics and planning, Monday Mashup will soon be starting in downtown Lewisburg. This never-before-held weekly event will see a selection of food trucks available in the Coolest Small Town in America each Monday.
Every week, expect to see several food trucks set up on Church Street downtown selling their food items. Monday Mashup will start out with no more than three trucks, but has the potential to expand. Church Street itself will continue to be open for vehicle traffic during the events, and the food trucks will be open from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
“We are hoping to kick it off in the next few weeks,” states Lewisburg’s City Manager Misty Hill, who originally floated the idea to City Council in June of 2024. At that time, she clarified that the food truck ordinance for the City still stands, “they wouldn’t be able to place food trucks wherever or whenever they want,” but would be operating on special permits submitted to City Hall for review and approval. At the 2024 meeting, Councilmember John Little said that the public has been asking for food truck permissions “for forever,” and voted in support of the idea, along with all other councilmembers in attendance.
Any food truck vendor wishing to participate can contact City Hall at 304-645-2080 for more information and an application.
