I always have fun when I go to this event, there is however a couple of downsides, you can’t buy drinks from the trucks, because they make you buy from the fairground vendors. Last is they have almost the same trucks everytime, there are tons of trucks in the DMV area, but they only select between 20 – 25 of them, and they are always the same ones.

A great way to wrap up the year, Truckerboo was the Halloween version of DC’s bit of local flavor, Truckeroo. Truckeroo is the monthly festival of Food Trucks that takes place during the summer months at Half Street Fairgrounds across the street from Nationals Park. Truckerboo had all the elements of the non-Halloween variety, but a bit scaled down as it was so late in the season and was actually added to the calendar as a bonus to the annual schedule. There was music, beer, non-alcoholic beverages and of course, Food Trucks! Among others, the all-stars were there of course including TaKorean, BBQ Bus, Surfside, Tapas Truck, DC Slices, Due South(a.k.a. The Woodshed) and a few surprises given the cold temps like Goodies and Captain Cookie & The Milkman. It was a great way to close out DC’s food truck season for sure. While some trucks will continue serving through the winter, many close up shop for a few months and come roaring back in the spring. Tip of the hat to Truckeroo and to the trucks of DC!
