From food trucks to concerts, this year’s Jersey Fest at the new Meadowlands Racetrack had a little something for everyone, and #HipNJ was there to capture all the festivities!
This year, Jersey Fest featured the Food Truck Mash-Up– among other vendors across the Garden State- to showcase the best #HipNJ has to offer. Furthermore, 2014 marked the first year that The Fest was held in the new Meadowlands Racetrack grandstand, which completed it’s $88 million dollar renovation in November of last year.
“Jersey Fest is a celebration. It’s a time to come out and showcase the businesses from our state,” said T.H. Waldman, manager of Exposure, the company’s events division.
#HipNJ’s Kelly Dillon spoke to many of the vendors and attendees, including Internet sensation Cory Nieves, the remarkable ten year old who owns Mr. Cory’s Cookies.
Cory proclaims: “My cookies are all natural, and they’re the best cookies because they are made with love.”
The Fest also gave back to the state. The Center for Food Action collected non-perishable items, and attendees donated used sneakers to the Max Cure Foundation, which raises money to help pediatric cancer.
