New Egypt Flea Market Village to host big food truck and firepit event this weekend

Just because it's still winter doesn't mean we can't have some fun outdoors. No, I don't mean building snowmen, going skiing, breaking out the sleds, or anything like that. Those kind of activities automatically come with the winter territory.

I'm referring more about the type of events and festivals typically found during the warmer weather months. Think carnivals, food truck festivals, or street fairs as an example of this.

Later winter in particular is a great time to host such events. Not only are the days finally getting longer, the temperatures are also slowly starting to go up. And let's be honest, after such a brutal January with snow and bitter cold, all of us in New Jersey can't wait to get back out there and celebrate the warmer days ahead.

Especially now in February, when winter, although still in charge, begins to lose it's grip on the Garden State. It's when such festivals start to pop back up. Little by little, we're getting there.

New Egypt Food Trucks & Fire Pits

For those who live in and around Cream Ridge, you're in luck. The New Egypt Flea Market Village is hosting its Food Trucks and Fire Pits Festival on Sunday.

Not only will there be firepits and food trucks, they'll also be a petting zoo, along with great family-fun activities that everyone will enjoy. Not to mention, plenty of local vendors to shop and take advantage of.

And it's free to attend, along with free parking. Be ready to have a great time, rain or shine.

The Food Trucks and Fire Pits Festival is happening on Sunday, Feb. 22, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., and more details about this weekend's fun can be found here.
