Carts in Parks kick off the season with food carts in parks throughout the city on Sunday, July 25. See below for the park locations, times and delicious foods to enjoy from local carts. 

Earlier announced, the City of Madison was awarded a $50,000 Street for Pandemic Response and Recovery grant through the National Association of City Transportation Officials (NACTO), in partnership with Bloomberg Philanthropies (www.bloomberg.org ), as part of their commitment to providing short-term funding and technical assistance to cities to help them adapt streets in service of communities disproportionately impacted by COVID-19. Madison is one of 10 cities across North America to be selected to participate in this second round of grants from NACTO and Bloomberg Philanthropies. To see a list of other cities in this grant cohort visit NACTO.

The City of Madison is excited to announce the launch of the Carts in Parks Vending Pilot Program this summer into fall! This program will provide daily food cart vending in 20 parks around Madison, support community-driven micro vending markets, reduce the barriers to vending in city parks, provided greater food access, and enhance our community gathering spaces.
