Mercer Co. Cultural Festival & Food Truck Rally Returns June 6

MERCER COUNTY, NJ — Mercer County will hold its 14th Annual Cultural Festival and Food Truck Rally on Saturday, June 6, at Mercer County Park in West Windsor, County Executive Dan Benson said Friday.

The free community event celebrates the county's diversity through live music, traditional dance performances, food trucks, a beer garden, art demonstrations, heritage crafters, and children's activities.

"In Mercer County, we understand that our diversity is our strength," Benson said. "During this 250th year of American Independence, we're proud to bring our community together again to celebrate the people and cultures from every part of the world who have made Mercer County, and our nation, the vibrant place it is today."

Vendors, performers, and organizations interested in participating can apply online. Craft vendors selling culture- or heritage-related goods, food trucks, and nonprofit organizations are all eligible.

The deadline to apply is April 3. Selected participants will be notified by April 10, with payment processed after the lineup is finalized.

Due to growing demand, the county has capped the number of vendors and performers. All applications will be reviewed to ensure broad cultural representation.

Vendor and organization can access the applications here. Performer applications — open to musicians and dance groups — are available here.
