2018 promises to be the biggest year yet for Boston-based Food Truck Festivals of America (FTFA), the country’s largest touring food truck & craft beer festival company. FTFA is branching out to new markets in 2018 including Panama City Beach, FL, and The Berkshires in Massachusetts. In addition, all first responders – from police to fire to EMTs – will be welcome at all festivals for free with a valid ID.
“We are particularly thrilled that this year we will honor the great first responders who keep us safe every day,” says Anne-Marie Aigner, founder of FTFA. “They help us every year, but this past year, with the tragic hurricanes, fires and earthquakes truly showed us the heroic work our first responders do and the sacrifices they make. We welcome them with open arms to any and all of our festivals!”
Each Food Truck & Craft Beer Festival consists of 25-to-40 food trucks and 50-to-70 craft beers. The trucks come from a two-hour driving radius and the craft beers are a mix of local, regional and national favorites. “We like to say ‘leave the diet at home’ and enjoy a day of great eating and drinking,” adds Aigner. “Comfortable shoes and elastic waistbands are also advised!”
Tickets to all the FTFA Food Truck & Craft Beer Festivals are $5 online prior to the event ($10 at the gate). Special VIP package consisting of early entry (no lines!), free dessert, free water and $1 off beer throughout the festival is $25 online prior to the event ($30 at the gate).
Takes place at Fort Taber, Saturday, July 21st. For more information and to purchase tickets in advance: www.foodtruckfestivalsofamerica.com.
Food Truck Festivals of America (FTFA) was founded in 2012. FTFA has created 60 festivals throughout the U.S. combining dozens of food trucks & craft breweries together in one place for a day of eating, drinking and fun.
