GEORGETOWN, Del. — Georgetown Town Council has officially approved a waiver that will allow a recurring food truck event to take place downtown during the summer of 2025. The waiver clears the way for “Food Truck Tuesday” to return on the second and fourth Tuesdays of each month from May through August, with trucks stationed along East Market Street at Cherry Lane. Operating hours will be from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on scheduled dates: May 13, May 27, June 10, June 24, July 8, July 22, Aug. 12, and Aug. 26.
The event, a joint initiative between the town and the Georgetown Chamber of Commerce, is capped at four food trucks per Tuesday.
The approved waiver modifies Town Code § 119-7 A to accommodate the temporary change. According to Georgetown Town Manager Gene Dvornick, the purpose of the event is to encourage foot traffic in the downtown area and offer more lunchtime options. In addition to food trucks, signage will be placed to highlight nearby local restaurants, including Maudy’s Hispanic Cuisine, Caruso’s Pizza & Pasta Italian Eatery, and Jalapeño Restaurant. Organizers hope the event will help draw more residents and workers to the area, contributing to the vitality of the town center.
