Come taste your way around the world without ever leaving Lowell. Every global food vendor at the Lowell Folk Festival is a non-profit organization, many of them local, sharing the flavors of their heritage through home-cooked dishes.

From the first tempting aroma to the last bite, it’s more than just a meal...it’s a cultural and community experience. All profits from food sales go directly back to supporting these nonprofits and their mission, and not the folk festival itself. We are proud to be partners in the community and uplift our local churches, schools, and cultural community groups.

And as you dig in, know that you’re also supporting eco-friendly practices: All food is served on paper plates with biodegradable utensils. Then our friends at Lowell Litter Krewe sort everything. Last year they saved more than 50% of the trash from the landfill - and they have set their goal even higher this year.

Good food. Good causes. Good karma.
