St Paddy's Day Truck Pull

5th Annual St. Paddy’s Day Truck Pull & Street Festival Returns Saturday March 18th

Bring your lucky charm to Historic Downtown Sanford

If it’s St. Patrick’s Day, you know already know what’s happening in Historic Downtown Sanford. Local businesses and fire departments have gathered their strongest friends to see if they have what it takes to pull a fire truck.

On Saturday, March 18, the St. Patrick’s Day festivities continue at the ‘The Famous L’ between West End Trading Co. and Celery City Craft with the St. Paddy’s Day Truck Pull & Street Festival. The festival will feature live music on multiple stages, loads of craft beer, food trucks, vendors and lots of Sanford Fun!

St Paddy's Day Truck Pull

The truck pull begins at 4 p.m. and teams will try their luck pulling a fire truck one block down Palmetto Ave. for the chance to win a trophy and bragging rights for a whole year.

This year, there’s double the fun for spectators to enjoy with two categories in the truck pull competition. One group will be made up of teams from local businesses and another group will include teams with the strongest members of fire departments from across Central Florida. Teams must include ten members and each team must register and pay a $100 sign-up fee.
