Food Truck And Craft Beer Festival In Blackwood Saturday

GLOUCESTER TOWNSHIP, NJ — Gloucester Township has added Valenzano Winery to its roster of wineries for the second annual Food Truck and Craft Beer Festival this weekend.

There will be a beer garden and 27 food trucks lined up along the Black Horse Pike in the Blackwood section of the township on Saturday, Oct. 26, 2 p.m. to 7 p.m. Rain date is Oct. 27. Admission is free.

There will be plenty of general seating in which festival goers can enjoy craft beer from famous breweries, wine and live music. There will also be corn hole and axe-throwing at the Primitive Axe mobile unit in the Rite Aid parking lot.

“Despite having to reschedule the event last year due to inclement weather, our first Food and Craft Beer festival was still a huge success in Gloucester Township,” Gloucester Township Mayor David Mayer said. “We received great feedback from our residents and visitors; and this year we are adding wine and even more food trucks for even better variety. We are expecting thousands of people next weekend, so we strongly recommend parking at designated locations and taking advantage of our complementary shuttles.”

There will be two complementary shuttles running from Highland High School and Blackwood Elementary School for anyone who needs to park their car.
