A Note about Food at Festival:

Did Somebody say Food Trucks!

We’re thrilled to announce our diverse dining options for the upcoming KCACTF Region 1 Conference 57 at Central Connecticut State University! This year, we’re featuring an exciting rotating roster of four fantastic food trucks that will ensure you have plenty of delicious choices throughout the conference.

Our Food Truck Lineup:

Operating Hours:

Tuesday, January 27: 4:00 PM – 8:00 PM
Wednesday through Saturday: 11:00 AM – 7:00 PM

The food trucks will be conveniently located on the Central Connecticut State University campus, operating on a rotating schedule to provide variety throughout the conference. We’re excited to offer this fun and diverse dining experience during the conference. The rotating schedule ensures you’ll have the opportunity to try different cuisines throughout your stay.

Please note, KCACTF Participants (Students, Faculty, Guests) cannot use the Student Center Devil’s Den food offerings. Devil’s Den can only accommodate CCSU students. All KCACTF attendees will acquire food through the Food Trucks parked on campus, or by purchasing their own food and bringing it to campus.

For off-campus dining options, please see this convenient list of nearby locations. Off-Campus Food Options
