The first annual Food, Fun and 4×4 Festival rolls into Richland’s Saw Mill Park on Saturday, Aug 19, 2017. Thousands are expected to attend the inaugural event which will showcase 4×4 Jeep vehicles.
Food is another main ingredient for the event with 10 local food trucks serving up tasty fare like bourbon Brie burgers, bacon mac and cheese, mahi tacos and crab rangoon. Some of the confirmed food trucks include Bacon Broads, I Got Crabs N Some, Cow and the Curd, Beach Shack Food Cart, Top Shelf Mobile Cuisine, Mannino’s Cannoli Express, Brilliant Beverages and Pete’s Italian Ice.
The festival will also feature a beer garden and three bands performing rock, pop and country music favorites.
A dedicated Kid Zone will keep the little ones entertained with a bounce house, plus plenty of family friendly activities and vendors.
Admission is free.
Fyi: You don’t have to rent a jeep to attend. You won’t be turned away in a Camry.
Saturday, Aug. 19, 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. (rain date Aug. 26) – 1316 Harding Hwy., Richland, N.J.
