River Food Truck Festival at Artesani Herter Park in Allston

The second-annual Charles River Food Truck festival is scheduled to be held at Artesani Herter Park in Allston on Saturday, Sept. 21.

The festival will feature more than 20 food trucks from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., according to the Food Truck Festivals of New England, which hosts the event.

The food will include gourmet grilled cheese, Vietnamese sandwiches, sirloin sliders, pesto pizza and lobster rolls, along with dessert trucks serving homemade ice cream sandwiches, whoopee pies, and cupcakes, organizers said.

Festival entry wristbands entitle attendees to get lower prices on all food at every truck as well as a special “small bite” at each truck.

Wristbands are available for purchase online www.foodtruckfestivalsofne.com for $7. They will be $10 on the day of the festival.

Trucks will also offer non-wristband, or walk-up, prices at $2 to $3 more per item.

A dollar from each wristband purchase will benefit the American Red Cross of Eastern Massachusetts.

Splash Park Entry Capacity Declared

Due to the 100-person capacity of the Biggs Park Splash Park, the following policy will be implemented when that capacity is reached:

  • Lifeguards will keep a head count of splash park patrons. One parent or adult per six children must accompany children at all times.
  • Upon entry to the splash park, patrons will be issued wrist bands. No wristbands will be issued in advance; patrons must be present and in line to receive a wrist band.
  • When the 100-person capacity is reached, lifeguards will not allow additional patrons to enter the splash park until either patrons leave (with a one-for-one exchange) or a new session begins (at times specified below.)

  • When there are more than 10 patrons awaiting entry, two-hour sessions will be implemented. The beginning times for sessions are noon, 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. The changeover will take place at the appropriate break enforced by lifeguards.
  • Patrons who gain entry 30 minutes or less prior to the new session due to someone leaving, will be allowed to re-enter the next session without waiting in line. They will be issued the correct wristband for the following session when they enter the splash park.
  • Patrons who wish to enter the splash park more than 30 minutes prior to a new session enter with the understanding they will be asked to leave when the session ends.
  • Patrons who have been asked to vacate at the end of a session may get back in line for reentry, following the above guidelines, and will receive a new wristband upon entry.
  • The intent of this policy is to set guidelines for patrons and staff when Biggs Park Splash Park capacity is met. There will be some instances where basic logic will be a better guideline to get patrons into the splash park efficiently, and the above policy may be adjusted at the lifeguard’s discretion. Guests of pavilion renters are allowed use of the splash park. All users of the splash park will adhere to posted safety rules and guidelines, and follow lifeguards’ instructions.

Wristband For Allowing You To Stay At Airport


Overnight campers are allowed back at Christchurch Airport - as long as they are wearing a coloured wristband.


Last month the airport stopped visitors from staying overnight after as many as 200 commuters had been choosing to sleep inside the international terminal building each night instead of booking accommodation.

The terminal building was then closed for "cleaning and clearing" between midnight and 5am while refurbishment and fire-alarm testing took place.

The work was finished late last month and visitors were now able to stay in the airport again - but only if they could prove they had an early flight to catch.

Christchurch Airport chief operating officer Andy Lester said the airport actively discouraged people from sleeping in the terminal and anyone there late at night or early in the morning could expect to be questioned about their need to be there.

"Bona fide air travellers who can prove they have flown in late or are flying out early will be permitted to rest in a chair for those few hours."

Those arriving after 10.30pm or departing before 8am would be allowed to stay if they could show travel documents proving they were within those timeframes.

Those who met the criteria would be given a coloured wristband and not be questioned again, but would be required to respect all requests made by airport staff, Lester said.

Those without wristbands would be asked to leave after the final flights of the night arrived.

"We have worked with the city's backpackers to identify which are willing to welcome travellers after midnight, so anyone leaving the terminal definitely does have affordable options."

About 25 "bona fide travellers" were staying in the terminal each night, Lester said.
