After a tremendous first year success, Boujee Foodie Con is returning to the grounds of Fort Monmouth in Oceanport 12-6 p.m. Saturday June 1 and 12-5 p.m. Sunday, June 2. In year two, this outdoor, one-of-a-kind, elevated food festival, mixed with music, games, experiences, and more, will be bigger and boujee-er. It is an unforgettable experience for foodies, families, music lovers, and the community.
New and improved this year will be a larger number of food vendors bringing more food to meet the high demand of hungry attendees. Additionally, there will be a Boujee VIP tented area, limited complimentary samples, a larger bar area, and more activities to experience. In addition to food, there will be live music performances and entertainment throughout the day, including an appearance by Thunder 106 DJs and a country line dancing experience.
The tented area on the grounds surrounding Russel Hall of historic Fort Monmouth will feature some the hottest local restaurants, independent eateries, and unique food and beverage providers in the area. Attendees can purchase and taste a variety of samplings from local and regional establishments.
