2026 Sponsorship Opportunities

Since 2002, St. Eugene Catholic Church has held the International Food and Music Festival in downtown Wendell as a community event. The festival provides a unique setting in which to savor authentic international cuisine at our food booths, enjoy live music onstage, and view cultural dancing and demonstrations. This year, we are excited to announce our 24th annual festival and hope that you would consider participating as a sponsor!
