Foodees Fest is coming to Rockaway Townsquare this fall, bringing more than 40 food vendors along with dozens of crafters and artisans to the mall for a free three-day festival.
The event runs Friday, October 23 through Sunday, October 25, 2026, at Rockaway Townsquare, 301 Mt Hope Avenue in Rockaway Township. Hours are 1 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Friday, 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Saturday, and 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Sunday.
Foodees Fest is a traveling food festival that stops in cities across the country, and the Rockaway date is its Morris County appearance. Organizers say the lineup will feature gourmet dishes and sweet treats from food trucks and vendors, alongside handmade jewelry, art, and crafts from local and regional artisans.
Admission is completely free. The festival is vendor supported, so there is never a charge to attend, though organizers ask guests to register in advance for free tickets to help vendors plan. Registered attendees are also entered into a drawing for a free meal and swag.
The event offers free on-site parking and is ADA friendly. It is family friendly and runs rain or shine, and well behaved leashed pets are welcome. Organizers recommend bringing a lawn chair, since seating varies by location, and a mix of cash and card, since payment methods vary by vendor.
For Rockaway and Morris County residents looking for a fall weekend outing, the festival is a short trip to one of the area’s most familiar spots. More information and free tickets are available through the Foodees Fest website.
