Balloons Over 66 Downtown Friday
evening food trucks and vendors
[August 31, 2026]
Food trucks and vendors were
set up, ready to welcome Balloons Over 66 attendees. A huge variety
of food was available. Fair and festival favorites like corn dogs,
walleye, and Culler’s French fries were on offer. You could see
people sipping on lemonade, shake-ups, or specialty drinks from
Guest House. The Pizza Guys featured their wood-fired pizza; people
enjoyed watching it cook in the oven at the back of their truck. The
variety continued with Asian selections, BBQ, and Smashburgers.
Several sweet treats were also available for dessert, like Rhubarb’s
Pie, Grandma’s Kitchen featuring cookie dough, or Doughnut Daddy
with mini donuts. Abe’s Carmelcorn also had a stand where you could
grab a bag of their famous popcorn before heading out to Open Arms
to watch the Balloon Glow.
Down Broadway, several vendors were
set up with their handcrafted items and goodies. Em’s Gems was there
with a cute selection of charms and gems. Customers could make
custom charm bracelets or necklaces. She was even featuring a
balloon charm.
