Venues & Event Locations
Marion County is home to Irvington Park, a gathering anchor that earns its reputation every time the warm-weather festival season swings through the county — the kind of open green space where a burger truck earns repeat business simply by being the best-smelling thing within a quarter mile. Across the county, Webter Family Park draws the sort of community turnout where a toasted bun and a melty double stack becomes the afternoon's main event. Come late spring and into summer, Point Park in Selmaville brings its own quieter but loyal crowd, the kind that notices when the patty is actually fresh-grilled. Haines Townhall in Foxville and Stevenson Townhall in Iuka represent the county's civic heartbeat — community dinners, fundraisers, and public gatherings where unfussy, crowd-pleasing food is not a compromise but genuinely the right call. And the Kinmundy-Alma Fire District in Kinmundy rounds out the circuit with the particular energy of a community that shows up for each other and expects the food to do the same.
Illinois does not have health or fire reciprocity — each local jurisdiction issues its own food-truck permits.
The Burger Bus and our local catering partners carry current health, fire, and business licensing. We're glad to share our documentation with your venue or organizer on request.
