2nd Food Truck Fest To Be Held In Newtown In September

NEWTOWN, PA — After an overwhelming response to the first-ever Newtown Food Truck Fest, organizers have decided to host another one this summer, and it promises to be bigger and better.

"More food trucks. Longer hours. Those are the big changes that have been made for the Newtown Food Truck Fest: Summer Send-Off Edition on Sunday, Sept. 3 from 1 to 8 p.m. at Council Rock North High School," according to an event announcement.

The first fest, held on Father's Day, "was a huge success, but we learned that we needed more food trucks and extended hours to spread out the crowd,” said event organizer Andrew Smith. “We have made those changes and expect a great event.”

The September event, also a fundraiser for the Newtown Theatre, will be a Summer Send-Off Edition. It will feature more than 20 food trucks serving up a wide variety of food and desserts.

Parking for the event is a suggested donation of $10, with all proceeds benefiting the theatre, the nation’s oldest continuously operating movie theatre.

In addition to the food trucks, the fest will feature music and more children’s activities. Attendees are invited to bring their own blankets or chairs. Alcohol is not permitted.

Confirmed food trucks include: A Taste of New Orleans, Bacon Me Crazy, Brazbq, The Chilly Banana, The Coffee Room, The Cow and the Curd, Cupcake Carnivale, El Guaco Loco, Foolish Waffles, Goodnoe’s Farm Dairy Bar, Jammin’ Crepes, Hai Street Kitchen, Nina’s Waffles & Ice Cream, Pie Stand, Philly Fry, Slider King, Sweet Lavender, The Tot Cart, WTF? Food Truck, Tim’s Barbeque, and Zeikka on Wheels.
