At each Food Truck Festivals of New England event, as many as 30 trucks cluster together to offer their eclectic gourmet wares to festival-goers from noon to 4 p.m. each day. Admission gets ticketholders a taste of every vendor's fare; the current lineup includes such local stars as Roxy's Grilled Cheese, Redbones BBQ, and Bon Me's customized Vietnamese sandwiches. VIPs get to skip the lines by enjoying a VIP-only hour from 11 a.m. to noon, and take home more souvenirs than a full stomach with a goodie bag packed with special offers.

When festival founder Anne-Marie Aigner first noticed the burgeoning food-truck scenes on the West Coast and the Midwest, she foresaw that the tide would make its way to New England. In order to encourage the movement, she founded her food-truck-festival tour to bring dozens of trucks' eclectic wares to locales outside of Boston. Already scoring mentions in Boston.com and Worcester Mag in its first year, the festival has featured such four-wheeled kitchens as Redbones BBQ and Grilled Cheese Nation. Aigner hopes to sustain the food-truck industry beyond the festival's inaugural year by attracting interest throughout the region and motivating grassroots support for the mobile culinary spots and their future descendants, sandwich-slinging helicopters.
