FOI Sponsorship
The Annual Festival of India is a vibrant celebration of Indian culture, heritage, and traditions that has become an integral part of our community’s cultural fabric. This marquee event promotes cross-cultural understanding, exchange, and appreciation, celebrating multiculturalism and helping to build a robust and more diverse community.
For years, the Festival of India has brought together people from all walks of life, fostering a sense of unity, inclusivity, and social cohesion. The event’s success, however, would not have been possible without the generous support of our community and our corporate sponsors who believe in our core mission.
Their contributions are the secret sauce and lifeblood that have enabled us to thrive and grow over the years. We are grateful for their partnership and commitment to promoting cultural diversity and fostering community engagement.

Here is what our sponsors say about us:
“Blumenthal Arts’ Charlotte International Arts Festival (CIAF) uniquely blends arts from around the world and around the corner. As part of our partnership with Festival of India (FOI), our audiences were introduced to magnificent art and culture from Charlotte’s Indian community. By popular demand, we expanded FOI to a second day and a new location in Ballantyne, welcoming even more guests to this annual Charlotte cultural staple. This is the essence of CIAF, which highlights the rich artistic offerings in the Queen City in September. We are excited for this ongoing partnership with FOI and the many ways in which it has elevated our festival programming.”
At Bank of America, we are proud to support the annual Festival of India as a vibrant example of great collaboration and cultural inclusivity. Charlotte is a dynamic woven fabric of ethnicities, demographics, public and private partnerships. We are proud to be part of a region that celebrates cultures, artists, culinary offerings and most importantly, our community. – Kieth Cockrell, President, Bank of America Charlotte
