Halloween Themed Fall Food Truck Fest in Meriden this Weekend

The Fall Food Truck Fest will be held in Meriden this weekend, the Record-Journal reports.

According to the event’s Facebook page, the fest will take place at Westfield Meriden in the lower parking lot outside the space previously occupied by J.C. Penney.

The event will take place from 12 to 10 p.m. on Saturday and from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Sunday. Admission to the fest is free.

According to the Record-Journal, those attending the event are encouraged to come dressed in costume as the event is Halloween themed.

Food trucks from the state as well as from neighboring Rhode Island and New Jersey will be present at the event, the paper reports. The fest will feature a D.J., a photo booth and the movie Beetlejuice will be screened outdoors.

Meriden resident, Rob Ferrie, who is organizing the event told the paper tickets for the photo booth will be $5 and $1 from each ticket will be evenly donated between St. Jude’s Children Research Hospital and local animal shelters. Glow stick bracelets at the event will be sold for $1 and will benefit the Meriden family killed in the tragic tractor-trailer crash on I-95 in Waterford.

The Connecticut Food Bank will also be present at the event collecting non-perishable food items.

Ferrie, 29, is a food truck enthusiast and has put in a lot of effort into organizing and promoting the event, the paper reports.
