May 15, 2017

Townsquare Media, a media and entertainment company, has picked Gardiner's Waterfront Park in Portland, Maine for its Food Truck Festival on Saturday, according to the Portland Press Herald.

Denise Jones, live event manager for Townsquare Media's Augusta office, said her company looks for opportunities that will benefit both a community and her company.

The festival, which runs from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., rain or shine, will feature eight trucks, a beer garden and three live bands. Jones said the Maine-based food trucks will be selling kettle corn, Filipino food, cookie dough and gluten-free food.

Patrick Wright, executive director for Gardiner Main Street and economic development coordinator for the city, said this is the first time a commercial event has been scheduled in the park.

Festival tickets are $10 in advance and $15 on the day of the show. Children under 5 get in free.
