The seven food truck sites are located near hospitals, universities, music venues and nightlife districts, giving people more food options throughout the night.

“The Late Night Food Truck program keeps our city alive and dynamic at all hours of the night,” Wu said. “We are excited to give these incredible businesses the opportunity to thrive and activate our neighborhoods this summer. Congratulations to the food trucks participating in the program and thank you for being anchors in our communities this summer and fall.”

"This marks a pivotal moment for Boston's culinary scene,” Reynolds said. “Our new late night food truck program not only extends the vibrancy of our streets but also provides a vital new platform for these 10 fantastic local food truck businesses to thrive. We're proud to support their innovation and bring more convenient and diverse dining options to our community well into the evening."

The food trucks will operate throughout this summer and fall.

The city established the Office of Nightlife Economy in the spring of 2023 "to enhance the vibrancy of Downtown and keep nightlife workers and patrons safe," according to the city's website. Other initiatives have included distributing drink covers to bars and nightclubs and establishing a nightlife training website and support committee.
