Organizers of a series of food truck festivals planned for this summer and fall have changed some of the festivals’ locations in order to bring the trucks to neighboring states.

Food Truck Festivals of New England, which had planned 11 food truck festivals across Massachusetts, has moved one festival to New Hampshire and another to Rhode Island.

The two new locations replace festivals originally planned for Topsfield and the South Coast. The newly announced festivals are set for June 30 at Rockingham Park in Salem, New Hampshire and October 20 in Newport, Rhode Island.

Food Truck Festivals of New England said the move will allow the festivals to reach a broader audience and introduce new fans to the food trucks.

The series of festivals are set to be kicked off on June 10 with the Boston Food Truck Festival at the UMass Boston Campus Center with more stops in Worcester, Lowell, Cape Cod, Hingham, and dates in the Boston neighborhoods of Brighton, Charlestown, and East Boston.

More than 50 food trucks from across New England have signed up to serve food at various locations. All festivals will take place from noon to 4 p.m. with a V.I.P. preview hour starting at 11 a.m. Tickets are on sale for 10 of the 11 festivals.
