EAT. DRINK. VIBE.
Boujee Foodie Con is returning for year three to the bustling grounds of Fort Monmouth in Oceanport, on May 3rd and 4th. Boujee Foodie is an outdoor, one-of-a-kind, elevated food festival, mixed with distinctive vendors, music, games, and experiences. It is an unforgettable experience for foodies, families, music lovers, and the community.
This year’s participants will be serving up food festival friendly size portions, so hungry guests can taste a wide variety of offerings. Additionally, there will be a larger kids section offering physical challenges and friendly competitions, plus face painting and photo opportunities. Once again, there will be live music performances and entertainment throughout the day, including favorite local bands.
The tented area on the grounds surrounding Russel Hall of historic Fort Monmouth will feature some of the hottest local restaurants, independent eateries, and food and beverage providers in the area. Attendees can purchase and taste a variety of samplings from local and regional establishments. The list of participants continues to grow and with a wide variety of offerings there will be something to satisfy every palate.
