Bayonne held its third-ever Food Truck Festival on May 14, with many attending the annual event after a two year hiatus. First offered in 2018, the festival was cancelled in 2020 and 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
However, city officials decided conditions were stable enough to have the festival come back in full force in 2022, although it was delayed a week from May 7 to May 14 due to inclement weather.
Despite the one-week pushback, the festival went off without a hitch, with crowds of residents taking advantage of the many choices of food trucks and other vendors.
Many food trucks lined Avenue E from 22nd to 24th Streets from 12 to 7 p.m. The avenue was closed between those streets all day to accommodate the trucks and foot traffic, and the city encouraged residents to arrive via Light Rail given the close proximity of the 22nd Street Station.
