Lethbridge expanding food truck locations in 2025

Apr 19, 2025 | 6:00 AM

You might be able to get some great Lethbridge food closer to home.

The City of Lethbridge says there will be five approved locations for where food trucks and mobile vending machines can be set up this year, up from the three that were part of last year’s pilot program.

• Atso Towaana Park – west (NEW)
• Nicholas Sheran Leisure Centre – west (NEW)
• Indian Battle Park – river valley
• Lethbridge Sports Park – north
• Park ‘n’ Bark Dog Park – north

All five locations have designated food truck parking areas.

New this year, all food trucks in Lethbridge need to be inspected by a Fire Prevention Officer before they can be approved to operate. Once they pass the inspection, they will get an approval window decal and certificate.
