Upcoming Food Truck Festival To Benefit Cranford High School Seniors

CRANFORD, NJ — From tacos to ice cream, a Food Truck Festival coming soon to Cranford will offer a variety of eats from local vendors, all to benefit Cranford High School's senior class.

The Food Truck Festival will take place Saturday, May 7 as part of Cranford High School's Project Graduation — a drug and alcohol-free graduation celebration for seniors put on by a committee of parent volunteers, in conjunction with the high school's Parent Teacher Student Association.

According to parent volunteer Diane Roussey, since 1989, the celebration has been held on the night of graduation as an organized, chaperoned alternative to student-run events which may involve drugs or alcohol.

All profits earned from the Food Truck Festival will go toward this year's Project Graduation.

Wristbands are required to enter the festival and are $5 if bought in advance, or $7 at the gate. Use this link to get wristbands.

Food trucks will include:

• Taco Papi
• Erving's Brisket
• The Lomo Truck
• Hills on Wheels
• Softy Ice Cream
• Rita's Italian Ice

The event will also feature live entertainment from RMC Music School and Valencia Music School.

The event will go from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. and take place in Nomahegan Park by the softball fields.
