6th Annual Salem Food Truck & Craft Beer Festival - 2 DAYS Sat Sept 20th & Sun Sept 21st!

About the event

Food Truck Festivals of America, LLC is a full-service turn-key Food Truck & Craft Beer Festival event marketing the Largest in the US! It was launched in 2011 in New England. It was the first of its kind, not only in the New England Region but in America. It all started with Food Truck events in the Boston Area and included events all over Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Connecticut, New York & Rhode Island. It evolved years later, putting on Food Truck events across the country with an added component, “Craft Beer!” FTFA has put on over 200 large events, and our goal is not only to introduce communities across the country to the booming phenomenon of gourmet food trucks but also to support the small business owners who run them. We aim to create destination events that feature the trucks and the food they serve, along with the best craft beer and beverages in the country. Who wants to be a “FOOD OFFICIAL PARTNER” and connect your brand with Food Truck Festivals of America?
