It’s officially 2024 and NJ.com’s food event series, Jersey Eats: A Taste of New Jersey, is back and bigger than ever.
After sold-out events in Montclair and Asbury Park in 2023, we’re excited to debut a new two-day festival model highlighting even more of the state’s hottest restaurants, food trucks, markets, craft breweries, distilleries, wineries, bakeries and more.
The first Jersey Eats food event of 2024 will be March 2-3, from noon to 5 p.m. each day at the CURE Insurance Arena in Trenton.
Tickets can be purchased online at a discounted price — $10 for a one-day pass and $16 for a two-day pass. If the event does not sell out in advance, tickets will be available at the door for $16 (one day) or $25 (two days).

More than 100 vendors will be selling their food, beverages, kitchenware and more (cash and credit cards are accepted throughout the event). Vendors will be announced in the weeks leading up to the event.
