After adding craft beer to its offerings of rolling food truck festivals last year, Boston-based Food Truck Festivals of America is back with an expanded list of events for 2017.
“Initially our festivals took place solely in New England, our home base,” said Anne-Marie Aigner, founder of FTFA. “But the weather was not conducive to having festivals year-round. So, we started chasing the sun and now we’re in great food and beer loving communities throughout the U.S. from February to November. It promises to be an exciting year!”
More than 100,000 people attended the dozen festivals the FTFA put on last year, which saw a total of 300 food trucks and 200 breweries serving 55,000 12-ounce beers.
Four festivals will be held in Massachusetts this year.
Here's the full schedule for 2017, with Mass.-based festivals bolded:
