To Meet Demand, Food Truck Festivals of New England Expands Nationally and Changes its Name to Food Truck Festivals of America

BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--After three years of creating large-scale food truck festivals throughout New England, Food Truck Festivals of New England (FTFNE) is going national and becoming Food Truck Festivals of America (FTFA). Riding the wave of interest by the public in today’s gourmet food trucks and responding to inquiries from communities throughout the U.S., Anne-Marie Aigner, Executive Producer of FTFNE says “It was inevitable, especially since we cannot produce festivals year round in New England due to the cold weather months. We are expanding to Food Truck Festivals of America (FTFA) – and in 2015, we will be chasing the sun!” 2015 warm-weather locations will include Florida, New Mexico and South Carolina.

Since 2012, FTFNE has produced 20 food truck festivals in New England, attracting a total of more than 150,000 attendees and working with 400 food trucks. It will continue to produce regional festivals as FTFNE in 2015. In 2016, the company will begin operating solely as Food Truck Festivals of America.

The Spring Training Food Truck Festival will take place at JetBlue Park in Fort Myers, FL on March 21^st. The Great New Mexico Food Truck Festival will take place at Balloon Fiesta Museum in Albuquerque, NM on April 11^th. The South Carolina Food Truck Festival will take place at Finlay Park in Columbia, SC on April 26^th. As with all New England festivals, entry will be $5 for adults, with children 12 and under free. Does not include cost of food and beverages.

Each festival features 20+ gourmet food trucks, making them true foodie destination events. There’s fresh seafood, fall off the bone BBQ, gooey grilled cheese, tacos, ice cream and so much more. Festivals also feature children’s activities and live music. Most will feature beer gardens.
