WELLS, Maine — Congdon’s After Dark will kick off its ninth season on Thursday, May 22, with a new food truck lineup and even more live music, events and family fun.
The food truck park, located outside Congdon’s Doughnuts in Wells, will host 7-10 food trucks each night Thursday through Sunday until late June, when the park will open daily and remain open until Labor Day.
The park opened with three food trucks in 2017 and has grown each season.
“Congdon’s After Dark has become such a special part of summer here in Wells,” said Jillian Shomphe, who owns and operates Congdon’s Doughnuts. “It’s more than just great food— it’s a place where families make memories, friends meet up, and visitors get a true taste of Maine.”
Earlier this year, Gary and Diane Leech officially passed on ownership of Congdon’s Doughnuts and the food truck park to their daughter, Jillian, and her husband Chris Shomphe. The business has been owned and operated by the same family since it opened in 1955.
There are 21 trucks scheduled for 2025, including several new trucks, a new layout, and expanded entertainment such as live music, fundraisers, special events for children, and weekly car shows. The park features a variety of Maine craft beer, wine, and cocktails, including beers made with Congdon’s doughnuts exclusively by Batson River Brewing and Mast Landing Brewing Company.
In 2025, the park will dedicate one night a week where each truck will offer menu items under $10.Congdon’s After Dark operates from 4 to 8 p.m. on weekdays and 4 to 9 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays, with some trucks staying open later. There is no charge for admission or parking, and pets are welcome on leashes.
