FoodFare BBQ turns up the heat for sākihiwē Festival

Celebrate community and culture at the sākihiwē Festival Turtle Island Block Party, where FoodFare's BBQ delighted attendees with hundreds of grilled hotdogs!

The sākihiwē Festival Turtle Island Block Party was a fantastic event celebrating community and culture. FoodFare’s Special Events BBQ was a big hit, providing attendees with hundreds of grilled hotdogs that perfectly complemented the lively atmosphere.

The collaboration seen at the sākihiwē Festival Turtle Island Block Party exemplified how companies, organizations, and events can unite to strengthen community ties through food and relationship building. When businesses step up to support local events, they help create a welcoming atmosphere that fosters unity and celebrates cultural diversity. Such partnerships highlight the values of community engagement, dignity and mutual support, demonstrating that local enterprises can play a pivotal role in enhancing communal experiences. This serves as an inspiring model for other organizations to contribute meaningfully to their communities, showing that the act of coming together over food can create lasting bonds.

“When local businesses step up to support community events, they help create a welcoming and vibrant atmosphere,” said Winnipeg-based artist and digital media mentor Jamie Bell. “FoodFare’s BBQ at the sākihiwē Festival is a perfect example of how community engagement and local business collaboration can enhance the communal experience and celebrate cultural diversity.”
