Fill Your Belly At Congdon’s After Dark, Maine’s Festive Summer Outdoor Food Truck Party

We can probably all agree that the best time of day is meal time! Whether it’s breakfast, lunch or dinner there are so many great options here in Maine that there’s really never a dull moment. That’s why we’re always on the lookout for new places to try. The more unique the better! And, while not exactly new to Maine, we thought now was a great time to extoll the benefits of visiting this wonderful food party!

We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life as we all practice social and physical distancing. While we’re continuing to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, we don’t expect or encourage you to go check them out immediately. We believe that supporting local attractions is important now more than ever and we hope our articles inspire your future adventures!

The only bummer about Congdon's Doughnuts in Wells is that you have to get there early in order to snatch up the goods.

*Except* in the summertime! That's when Congdon's After Dark begins and it's the best way to fill your belly.

This fun event got its start in 2017 and today it's New England's biggest food truck park.

In other years, it was a great way to meet friends and family and enjoy a meal outdoors. And, while that's still the case, this year's opening has brought with it important social distancing measures that will make sure you're safe while you eat some of the best food from Maine's favorite food trucks.

Each evening includes a different array of food trucks.

And while you can check ahead of time to see who will show up, there's really no way you can go wrong.

But, get there as close to 4 p.m. as you can to make sure you get first pick!

You'll also want to make sure you leave some time to enjoy the beer garden.

While we love the food trucks, you can bet we'll still be visiting in the morning to load up on donuts.

Because, as those in southern Maine know, they've got some of the best!

Congdon’s After Dark is open every day of the week from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. You can learn more about which trucks will be in attendance by visiting the website. Or, follow them on Facebook. And you can gobble up some of the best donuts around by visiting Congdon’s from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Sunday, Monday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. They can be reached on. 207-646-4219.

Have an unexplained urge for donuts now? Of course you do! Take the Maine donut trail for a delightfully delicious day.
