New Hampshire’s Food Truck Festivals and Events
To say that food truck festivals are popular would be an understatement; they seem to be popping up every weekend in every corner of the Granite State (and we’re very okay with the trend!). If you’ve never been before, a food truck festival is basically a gathering of food trucks at one location and there’s usually also music and entertainment. Some food truck festivals charge an admission fee, which is usually fairly nominal and is donated to a non-profit or goes to cover the cost of renting the space of facility.
The best part about a food truck festival is that it offers something for everyone’s palate, from desserts to BBQ to tacos and everything in between. The events are generally kid-friendly (sometimes even pet-friendly), so it’s fun for the whole family or the perfect date with a group of friends.
Here are more than a dozen food truck festivals happening in New Hampshire that we think you need to know about.
