Ford City’s First Friday Food Truck Festival

05/27/2026

We are asking for your Help!

At this time, Ford City Heritage Festival is still not quite to our $10,000 goal to pay for this year's fireworks show. We still need $6,500! If you would like to help with a contribution, you may do so by mailing a check (Rittner's Community Events), Venmo, Cash App, or PayPal-- no donation is too small! We know this town, we know that everyone missed the fireworks last year, and we know you all love helping when you can. We need to have the full payment in for fireworks by June 15th!!
Please note: We will be posting final contributions list once our goal has been reached. We will also have a banner with everyone who made a contribution at the event.
Checks can be dropped off or mailed to Rittner's Community Events 1305 4th Ave Ford City, PA 16226

📢This Tuesday is our first ToGo Tuesday's- April!
❓️What is ToGo Tuesday❓️ It is just like First Friday but, on a Tuesday! Tuesday is my Monday & the day I hate having to cook most 🤣
🕐It will be held from 5-8pm on the 3rd Tuesday of the month. Perfect time for those that work. You can grab something to eat, listen to music, shop some vendors & still get home at a decent time for bed.
Stop & say 👋 We have Bob Long playing 5-8pm 🪕🎶

Hello Ford City 5k-ers! We are nearing the opening of our new registration site and reveal of this year's race shirt design for the 35th Annual Ford City 5k on July 4th, but first, we have some very important and exciting information to share...

As many of you have already heard, Rittner's Community Events is working hard to bring back a huge multi-day festival to Ford City for the weekend surrounding our race! The Ford City 5k race committee is excited to be working with Rittner's and their Ford City Heritage Festival to make the weekend of America's 250th very special for our community. Their 4-day festival is set to feature entertainment, vendors, food trucks, fireworks, a jeep invasion, bike night, a car show & more! And on race day, the festival and all of its vendors will open at noon, immediately following our race festivities (with some vendors open even earlier)! Bottom line... Ford City will be the place to be on July 4th, and the entire weekend!

Spread the word, follow our Ford City 5k page, and follow the Rittner's Community Events page for a steady flow of updates regarding the entire weekend!
