The crowd will go crazy for the delicious food lineup at this year’s installment of Hooplandia, the Northeast’s Ultimate 3x3 Basketball Tourney + Festival. Players and spectators can look forward to surprising sweet and savory delights, meal deals for the whole family on Father’s Day and an exclusive beer collaboration with Easy Company Brewing.
SAUCE:D Wood Fired Pizza by Lattitude brings you hot, cheesy slices fast—no timeout needed. Look forward to cheese, classic pepperoni or add a ricotta and hot honey twist, margherita, buffalo chicken or chicken bacon ranch. Signature pies include Breakfast Pizza with chorizo, bacon, ham, cheese and a fried egg and Potato Ricottta topped with roasted garlic, truffle oil, basil and buffalo mozzarella. Before you dig into your pizza, warm up your appetite with an order of garlic knots, slam-dunked into a mind-blowing tomato vodka sauce.
Visit Poppie’s Lemonade & Shaved Ice during your cool-down lap for ice-cold, fresh-squeezed lemonade and flavorful shaved ice. Their beverage menu is a certified bucket on a hot day at the start of summer, and they’ve opted to crowd please with corndogs, too!
The Hub is full of big-time flavors and fan favorite fair food, but this year they’re stepping up their game with all-new specials:
- Hoop Dog – Larger than life and loaded with toppings.
- 3xBurger – Stacked to the max with three patties and our signature “Hoop Sauce.”
Father’s Day Savings (Sunday Only)
- The Mick
- Surf n Turf – Braised angus beef tips team up with garlic parmesan shrimp tempura-style over a bed of buttered noodles. A protein-packed, carb-loaded order to keep you playing at your best.
- The Hub
- 3xCombo – Enjoy the flavor dream team, a hotdog, potato chips and fountain drink for just $12.
We figured we’d sweeten the deal with some menu MVPs, too; Stella’s Milk & Cookies delivers dunk-worthy milk and cookies and Sweetera’s milkshakes and bubble waffles deserve applause. Choose from a creative list of flavors, including Cookie Monster, Fruity Pebbles, Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup and Mermaid Dreams, which is a heaping serving of vanilla ice cream, dribbles of cosmic strawberry sauce, cotton candy clouds, sprinkles, a chocolate tail and whipped cream, rimmed with buttercream and dipped in graham cracker crumbles.
The Mick brings you All-American classics, with gameday chicken wings drenched in your choice of bold flavors. The $5 Wing Deal grants you a three-piece order of wings glazed in buffalo hot, teriyaki, barbeque or garlic parmesan sauce.
Easy Company Brewing of Springfield, Mass., has partnered with Hooplandia to bring dad-approved beverages to the tournament in time for Father’s Day weekend. Enjoy a cool pint of the festival-exclusive hazy “Hoplandia” IPA or the refreshing Layup Lager. Easy Company’s goal has always been to make “great beer for a greater cause,” so 100% of their after-tax profits benefit charities that support veterans, first-responders and their families. Working with Easy Company is Hooplandia’s way of saluting the fathers who have served, and they look forward to providing a pop-up during festival weekend.
Between a competitive weekend of nonstop 3x3 basketball gameplay, oodles of fun fan activities and entertainment, we aren’t sure when you will find the time to try the whole food lineup—but we are certain that you will want to.
Team registration is still open until June 15 at Hooplandia.com, but you do not need to be a player to attend the event and participate in the delicious dishes being offered by the many vendors cheering on teams courtside.
