McAllen, TX (KRGV) — The city of McAllen announced a new closure date for the McAllen Food Truck Park.

The park, originally set to close on Dec. 14, will now close on Jan. 14, 2027, McAllen City Commissioner Michael Fallek said.

“I am pleased to share that we have worked to extend the timeline, keeping the park open throughout the holiday season,” Fallek said. "More importantly, we are actively looking for other sites to potentially allow the continuation of these businesses."

Fallek’s announcement Thursday came the day after the city announced the McAllen Chamber of Commerce would close the park over leasing concerns.

The McAllen Chamber of Commerce leased the property from First Baptist Church in McAllen for $20,000 a year. Chamber president Elizabeth Suarez said the decision to close the park came from a proposed lease increase from the church.
