For age 21 and older only, the International Food Fair will be at Roncalli High School, 2000 Mirro Drive, starting at 5 p.m.
Admission to the fair is free, but punch cards must be purchased at the fair to sample food. Cash, check, credit cards and Venmo will be accepted as payment.
A variety of cuisine, including desserts, prepared by local restaurants, food trucks and Roncalli Catholic Schools families is featured, representing Americana, Asian, Greek, German, Italian, Mexican, Polish and Southern dishes.
Specialty beers and wine will be available for purchase, including a special brew -- Jet Lag -- a collaboration between PetSkull Brewing Co. and the Allie Family Companies. Cans of the double dry hopped hazy IPA will be available for $8 each, along with four packs, at the event. All sales from Jet Lag sold at the food fair will be donated to Roncalli Catholic Schools. Patrons have a chance to taste Jet Lag prior to the food fair during a special tapping party at 4:30 p.m. Oct. 30 at PetSkull, 1015 Buffalo St., Manitowoc.
