Why Sponsor I-Fest?
I-Fest (International Festival Davis) is the day I-House opens its doors: cultural and artisan booths, food trucks, and a backyard main stage come together to celebrate the many cultures that make our region vibrant. But I-Fest is more than a celebration — it’s where new donors, volunteers, and community partners first discover I-House, and where our work of welcoming newcomers and supporting English learners becomes visible to the whole community.
Sponsors help reach 1,000–1,500 attendees while demonstrating a commitment to diversity and equity in Davis. Depending on the sponsorship level, benefits may include event shout-outs, tabling opportunities, newsletter placement, and logo recognition across event materials.
The festival features:
- 15 performing groups showcasing music, dance, and cultural traditions from around the world
- Craft, cultural, and artisan booths
- International food and food trucks
- A full day of free, family-friendly activities — Saturday, November 7, 2026, at 10 College Park, Davis
