The 5 Coolest, Sweetest Party Ideas for Throwing a Backyard Ice Cream Truck Food Crawl with Your Friends

Summertime is the perfect time to throw a party! And what's more summery than an ice cream truck party rental near me?

Whether you're looking for a fun activity for your child's birthday party or a unique way to entertain your adult friends, a backyard ice cream truck food crawl is the way to go!

Here are five tips to help you plan the coolest ice cream truck food crawl ever.

1. Choose the right ice cream truck. This may seem like a no-brainer, but it's actually really important. Not all ice cream trucks are created equal!

You'll want to make sure you choose an ice cream truck that has a good selection of both classic and trendy flavors, as well as some vegan and gluten-free options for your guests who have dietary restrictions. Bonus points if the ice cream truck has some fun toppings like sprinkles or chocolate sauce.

2. Plan your route. A food crawl is all about efficiency! You'll want to map out a route that hits all of the major food groups: savory, sweet, salty, and everything in between. Make sure to hit up some local hotspots as well as some hidden gems that only the locals know about.

And don't forget to factor in walking time between each stop so that everyone has a chance to digest before moving on to the next item on the menu.

3. Set a budget. Let's face it, food crawls can be pricey. To keep things affordable, set a budget per person and stick to it. That way, everyone can enjoy themselves without breaking the bank.

4. Make it BYOB. What goes better with food than alcohol? Make your food crawl even more fun by making it BYOB (bring your own booze). That way, everyone can enjoy their favorite drink while they eat their way through the neighborhood.

5. Send out invitations early. The earlier you send out invitations, the better! This will give people plenty of time to clear their schedules and make arrangements for childcare, if necessary. Plus, it'll give them something to look forward to in those long summer months when there's not much going on.

Now that you know how to throw an epic backyard ice cream truck food crawl, there's nothing stopping you from planning the coolest party of the summer! Just remember to invite us—we promise we won't eat all of the ice cream!
