Flavor to the Max: New Jersey’s Empanada Fest Features Car Show, Live Music & Great Food

De nada, empanada! Enjoy a full day celebrating these flavorful pastries at New Jersey's Empanada Festival & Car Show at Lincoln Ave. Park in Manville.

Organized by MegaBite Events, the festival will run from noon to 7 p.m. May 2 with 16+ food trucks and vendors, live music, an adventure zone for kids of all ages, face painting and henna tattoos, and so much more! Children ages 5 and younger are free, so it's a great event for foodies and families alike.

The food trucks will feature a mix of American and Latin food, but don't worry — all the past Empanada Festival Champions will be battling it out as a few new vendors enter the fray. Find a full list of food vendors online at the Facebook event page. Organizers say you will not find a better selection of empanadas in New Jersey!

This year, they are adding the Ultimate Car Show by Cars & Coffee of Central New Jersey.

A portion of the festival proceeds will benefit Manville PBA #236, which supports the men and women who protect and serve the community.

Tickets are $5 each at the door. So, grab your friends, grab your family, grab anyone who would love an excellent empanada extravaganza, and head to Lincoln Ave. Park in Manville on May 2!
