Only food trucks that have been approved by the City of Cambridge are permitted to operate on the MIT campus. Event organizers must consult with space owners to confirm the appropriate location for any invited food truck. All events featuring food trucks must be registered in Atlas, and organizers should include the truck’s name when registering. For support in handling food truck requests, please contact foodstuff@mit.edu.
Approved food trucks may operate only in designated CAC Outdoor Event Spaces, including the Stratton Student Center Plaza, Dertouzos Amphitheater, and Walker Lawn.
Organizations planning to host a food truck must:
- Consult with the appropriate space owner or event administrator regarding location and operational requirements at least 10 working days prior to the event.
- Submit Atlas registration at least 10 working days before the event.
- Include the name of the food truck in the Atlas registration.
The sponsoring organization is responsible for ensuring that all required approvals have been obtained before the food truck arrives on campus.
Organizations should consult SOLE early in the planning process when considering a food truck for an event.
