Food Truck Festival

Double the Fun! Feast on your Favorites at the Mayor’s 1st Annual Food Festival, Meet Your Local Heroes at “Touch A Truck” both at Litchfield Crossings on Oct. 18th , 11 am to 4pm

Events co-sponsored by Litchfield Crossings and the Town of New Milford to
benefit The Community Fuel Bank of New Milford

Get ready for a day of Big Trucks, fast cars, and fabulous food on October 18 th from 11 am to 4 pm, co-sponsored by the Town of New Milford and Litchfield Crossings. While Mom and Dad sip and savor from a menu including lobster rolls, chowder, crepes, and more…. young attendees will have the thrill of climbing into the driver’s seats, honking the horns of police cruisers, fire engines, and real race cars. And everyone can swing and sway to the music provided by DJ Beth Conkey.

Ready for more fun, the dual event will also feature a magical collection of Inflatables courtesy of SuperFun Inflatables. While mom and dad are having seconds, tots, tweens, and teens can whiz down super slides, run obstacle courses, and bounce around fantasy castles.

Before you call it a wonderful day, visit BrightPath Child Care Center for a session with their phenomenal face painter. Then take a selfie with your new “face” or a spin on the art/paint machine. Frame both to take home as a memento of a fun-filled family day.

“We are pleased to partner with Litchfield Crossings to present the 1 st Annual New Milford Food Truck Festival along with The Crossing’s annual Touch A Truck. This year’s event will benefit The Community Fuel Bank of New Milford, a special fund shared by the New Milford Senior Center and New Milford Social Services that aids in keeping our families in need warm during the winter months. Join us in this mission and have fun while doing it,” says New Milford Mayor Pete Bass.

Adds Kristen Gizzi, Executive Director of Litchfield Crossings,” We, too, are delighted to host this exciting dual event. It’s an opportunity for the community to come together and enjoy a day of fun for the whole family. I would like to thank the event participants including All American Waste, Jennings Oil, The New Milford Police Department, Candlewood Valley Motors, and FSM Services”,
