Mark your calendars — Thursday, August 28, 2025, is set to be one of Cherry Hill’s tastiest nights of the year. The Al Fresco Affair Food Truck Festival is returning, bringing together the best in New Jersey street food, live entertainment, and community spirit. From 5:00 PM until the stars come out, Barclay Farmstead Park transforms into a vibrant outdoor dining room where flavors, music, and neighbors come together under the summer sky.
A Food Lover’s Dream Night Out
At the heart of the festival is an impressive lineup of food trucks offering a wide range of culinary creations. Whether you’re craving gourmet burgers, wood-fired pizza, authentic tacos, sizzling BBQ, decadent desserts, or plant-based options, there’s a dish (or three) with your name on it.
Guests can wander from truck to truck, building their own tasting tour while soaking in the aromas of freshly cooked food. With so many choices, you might just need to bring a friend — or two — to share and sample everything.
Sip, Relax, and Enjoy the Music
The beer garden adds an extra layer of enjoyment for the adults, featuring seasonal brews and refreshing beverages perfect for a late-August evening. Pair your drink with the sounds of live music, where talented local performers set the mood with a mix of upbeat favorites and relaxing tunes.
Bring a lawn chair or a blanket, find a cozy spot on the grass, and let the evening unfold — this is outdoor dining at its finest.
A True Cherry Hill Community Tradition
Hosted by Cherry Hill Township and set against the scenic backdrop of Barclay Farmstead Park, the Al Fresco Affair is more than just a food festival. It’s a chance to connect with friends, meet neighbors, and enjoy one of South Jersey’s most charming outdoor spaces. The park’s blend of history and green open space makes it a fitting home for an event that celebrates community togetherness.
