Huntsville, Ontario – Hit the road, follow your appetite, and help crown the 2026 Food Truck Wars champion – all for a cause in North Muskoka.

Food Truck Wars, a new friendly competition running September 1 to 30, challenges participating food trucks to donate a portion of proceeds from month-long sales of a featured dish to Community Living Huntsville. At the end of the month, the truck that raises the most funds for the not-for-profit developmental services organization will win the Food Truck Wars Trophy and the title of Food Truck Wars Champion.

While there is a trophy on the line – and delicious food – the real winner is the community.

“Food Truck Wars is all about bringing people together,” says Laura Flynn, Community Engagement Associate for Community Living Huntsville. “These local business owners will be friendly competitors, but they are also community partners who have chosen to support a disability-inclusive community where everyone has the opportunity to belong.”

Nine trucks from Emsdale to Port Sydney and Huntsville to Dwight have thrown their hats in the ring. Featured dishes include wontons, burgers, crepe, tacos, smashed potato, and poutine. A full list is available on the competition’s website.

Which truck claims the trophy is up to the public to decide.

For members of the public, the event is simple:

  • Download the 2026 Food Truck Wars Map
  • Visit participating food trucks from September 1 to 30
  • Order their Food Truck Wars featured dish
  • Help your favourite climb the leaderboard with your purchase

The public can make the competition even more exciting by downloading the official Food Truck Wars BINGO Card, too. Diners who complete a full card can submit it for a chance to win a Community Living Huntsville Prize Pack valued at more than $50. One entry per person.

Funds raised through Food Truck Wars support Community Living Huntsville’s purpose of promoting meaningful choice and real inclusion for people with developmental disabilities, so people, families, and communities can thrive.

Explore new flavours, support your favourite trucks, and enjoy some friendly rivalry.
