First Look at Connecticut Food Trucks & Festivals in 2017

One of the very first food trucks I remember as a kid in the late 50's was the ice cream man!

In the 60's, food trucks were called Roach Coaches according to mobile-cuisine.com. They would stop near construction sites all around the country. Specialized food trucks are now a popular dining option and have grown so popular that you're able to find 'Food Truck Festivals' all over the US. 

Here are some of the 'Food Truck Festivals' scheduled for Connecticut this year.

1. Westfield Meriden - Food Truck and Craft Fair on May 20 & May 21 in Meriden CT
2. New Haven Food Truck Festival - June 3
3. Newtown Food Truck Festival - Saturday, June 17 from 11am to 5pm
4. Waterbury Brass Mill Center - Fireworks & Food Truck Fest July 2 from 2pm until 10pm
