Mega Bites Events, the organization coordinating the festival, cautions those who would like to attend to be alert for ticket scams. Tickets, the organization states, are only officially sold and honored when purchased through Mega Bites’ page here. Tickets and vendor spaces are not being offered through Facebook event comments or private Facebook messages.

Mega Bite Events had begun planning the June 2020 festival, which was sidelined because of COVID-19.

"After a year away we're coming back bigger and better than ever," Mega Bite Events wrote.

The group's last Food Truck Festival took place at the Chatham Middle School in June 2019.

Their event page says attendees should get ready to not only bring their appetites, but also their lawn chairs and four-legged friends, "for a day of great food, great music and a celebration of life."

In addition to the food vendors, there will be boardwalk-style games, a bounce house, hatchet tossing, face painting and more, according to the event page details.

Mask-wearing at the festival will be optional, with all CDC guidelines for COVID followed. Festival organizers will additionally provide hand sanitizers.
