Monmouth Park's 2013 events schedule will yet again be highlighted by four of the track's ever-popular food festivals, including the now two-day Jersey Shore Food Truck Wars on Saturday and Sunday, May 25 and 26.
Held for the first time in 2012, the food truck wars attracted a crowd of more than 23,000 as a one-day event. Because of its popularity, the festival has expanded to the two days for the 2013 season.
"We already have over two dozen food trucks signed on to be here," Monmouth Park Vice President of Marketing Pete Verdee said. "It proved a great success last year, one we're looking to build on in 2013 and in the years to come."
