Montclair Art Museum Announces Second Annual Food Truck Festival & Cocktail Crawl

The Montclair Art Museum (MAM) is set to host its Second Annual Food Truck Fest & Cocktail Crawl on the Museum grounds. The afternoon will feature an even wider slate of food and drink options than last year, with a whole new selection of art on view for attendees to enjoy, all at an incredibly low price.

Montclair, NJ—The Montclair Art Museum invites the community to its second annual Food Truck Festival & Cocktail Crawl on Sunday, June 7, from 12–5 p.m., transforming its grounds once again into a celebration of local cuisine, creative cocktails, and world class art under the summer sun.

"What we were able to do at the Museum last year was so special, and to tap back into that same feeling is vital," said Alex Pavljuk, Creative Media Producer at MAM. "The Museum is, despite its eleven decades of service to Montclair, a bit of blind spot for a lot of people across New Jersey. We want experiences like this [the Food Truck Fest] to serve as an entry point to MAM for our visitors."

Food, fun, and a fresh take on the museum experience. Guests can enjoy 12 food trucks offering a wide variety of flavors and cultures, alongside the event's signature Cocktail Crawl, featuring three bars, with each location serving a unique specialty cocktail created just for the occasion. A wide array of beer and non-alcoholic beverage options will also be available for purchase.

Beyond the food and drink, the afternoon includes:

Art activities
Live DJ
Complimentary access to all Museum galleries

In this economy, MAM knows the value of a good deal. That's why the event's ticket prices have proudly remained low, offering visitors one of the most affordable, family friendly events of the season. Advance tickets are just $5 per individual or $20 for families (up to 5 attendees). Day-of tickets are $10 per individual or $25 per family. Children under 5 attend for free. MAM members receive a complimentary drink ticket as a thank-you for their support. Tickets are available now at montclairartmuseum.org/food-truck-festival.

"It's about the art, and if the trucks and drinks get you in the door then great," said Pavljuk. "But at the end of the day, this event is about welcoming everyone to the Museum, from long-time locals to first-time visitors. It's an invitation to see what MAM has to offer."

Whether you're a foodie, art lover, or just looking for the perfect Sunday, MAM's Food Truck Festival & Cocktail Crawl is just what you are looking for.

Please note there is a rain date set for June 14, 2026. All purchased tickets will be valid for use on that day if the change is necessary.
