TRENTON -- Thousands of people stopped by Trenton Social, a popular city restaurant, today to enjoy the Trenton Food Truck Festival, which featured nine tantalizing food trucks, a beer garden and live entertainment.
The festival, which ran from noon to 8 p.m. in the restaurant's parking lot, was stacked with various food trucks: Flying Crust (gourmet pizza and wings); Four Daughters Franks (gourmet hot dogs); Johnny's Pork Roll; Luigi's Homemade Ice Cream; My Four Suns (Korean cuisine); RUNA Peruvian Cuisine; Try Vegan; Twisted Biscuit (diner cuisine); and Smokin Chicks Got Wood BBQ. Live entertainment included a magician and musical performances by Charles Laurita and The Mischief, Thee Idea Men, Wenonah Brooks, The Polish Nannies, and many more.
"Everyone loves food and music, that's why this festival is so great," said Trenton Social owner T.C. Nelson. "This is a great day for our restaurant and our team here, other businesses and the community."
Nelson also said he was extremely excited to be holding the festival at his business.
"Huge outside events like this attract people from all over the region," Nelson said. "People from both the neighborhood and out of town come out. It's great exposure for our business and all of the food trucks that are here. It's just a really great day."
While admission to the family-friendly festival was $3 for adults, children 12 and under were free. The first 100 children in attendance received free toy trucks, courtesy of the N.J. Association of Relators.
"I don't know any kids that don't love food and music," said Nelson, who wanted the festival to appeal to the whole family. "We have a lot of entertainment here for the kids. There's something for everyone here."
If you missed out on today's food truck event and are looking for another, you won't have to wait long - the Capital City Food Truck Battle will be held tomorrow from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. at Rho Waterfront, another popular city locale.
Tomorrow's event boasts over 15 food trucks, a beer garden, and live entertainment.
