Add as a preferred sourceFoodees Fest, a touring food festival, is bringing more than 40 food and beverage vendors and dozens of crafters to Rockaway Townsquare in Rockaway Township from Friday, Oct. 23, through Sunday, Oct. 25, 2026, and admission is free.
Hours are 1 to 9 p.m. Friday, 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Saturday and 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Sunday at the mall, 301 Mount Hope Avenue, according to the organizer’s event page. Parking is free on site, and organizers say the event is ADA friendly.
The lineup pairs food trucks serving savory dishes and sweet treats with artisans selling handmade jewelry, art and crafts. Organizers say each stop on the tour includes hometown businesses alongside regional and national vendors.
Tickets are free because the festival is supported by its vendors. Organizers ask guests to register in advance through the free Eventbrite listing so vendors can plan how much food to bring, though registration is not required to attend. Everyone who registers is entered into a drawing for a free meal, a swag bag and more.
The festival is billed as family friendly and runs rain or shine unless severe weather makes it unsafe. Well-behaved pets on a leash are welcome. Seating varies, so organizers suggest bringing a lawn chair, and because payment methods vary by vendor, carrying both a card and some cash is a good idea.
