Food Truck Fest In Belleville Has New Home For 2022

BELLEVILLE, NJ — Belleville’s annual Food Truck Festival will return this fall, but it will have a new home, officials recently announced.

Unlike previous years, the free, family-friendly event will be held from 4 to 10 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 8 at the Belleville High School, 100 Passaic Avenue. The event is free, and free parking will be available in the high school and School #7 parking lots.

Here’s what to expect, according to a news release from the township:

“Presented by Mayor Michael Melham and the Township Council, the Belleville Food Truck Festival will be serving up everything from empanadas to egg rolls, lobster rolls to lomo sliders, Cubanos to cupcakes. There will be music and much more. Residents can enjoy garlic knot sliders from Hold My Knots, to comfort food such as falafels from Rolling Pita, to sweet desserts from Cold Stone Creamery. As if the promise of heaping hot fudge sundaes isn’t enough to excite the kiddies, there will be face painting, sand art, a bouncy house and other fun. So, get ready for pony rides, a petting zoo and perhaps a surprise or two. There will be also be a classic car show, motorcycles from Bergen County Harley-Davidson and a beer, margarita and sangria garden.”
