The curated selection of food stalls will offer diverse global cuisines, with specific menu labels designating gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian, and vegan options. Amelia Klatt, Director of Events at the Greater Des Moines Partnership, noted that the event functions as a storytelling platform where local businesses and international flavors intersect. Beyond the culinary offerings, the festival footprint includes seven artisan merchants and five nonprofit organizations, such as CultureALL and the Iowa Office of Civil Rights, designed to foster community engagement and cultural exchange.
Support for the event spans several regional stakeholders, including Prairie Meadows, which sponsors the festival's main stage, and Bravo Greater Des Moines. Shelly McGill of Veridian Credit Union highlighted the festival’s role in promoting local belonging, while the organizers continue to recruit volunteers to assist with the three-day gathering. Comprehensive menus and vendor details are currently available through the official festival website.
