International Food Fair - 38th Annual

First Church in Swampscott announces its 38th annual International Food Fair to benefit Habitat for Humanity (affordable housing and so much more), at local and international levels.  Partnering with other churches and community groups, the event features foods, drinks, and desserts from around the world, as well as a huge silent auction.

Located in the church hall at 40 Monument Avenue, attendees can purchase tickets to sample foods from various tables.  This year we will be offering Vietnamese, Norwegian, Portuguese, Italian, Scandanavian foods, just to name a few, along with the ever popular Dixie Diner from right here in the USA.  The bountiful Dessert Table will offer all sorts of delicacies, such as pies, cookies, cakes, trifles, and perhaps an Irish soda bread to get you in the spirit of St. Patrick's Day.

This year's auction has some outstanding items for bidding.  There will be beautiful art, home, garden, and flower products, clothing and memorabilia.  Always popular are the gift cards, generously donated by local businesses, as well as unique experiences such as sailing trips, local theatre, hotel stays, golf and bowling opportunities. This year we are excited about offering 2 tickets to Celtic Night, A Tribute to Brian O'Donovan, at Symphony Hall in Boston on Saturday, March 14.

The attached flyer provides additional details, and we look forward to kicking off the Spring season at First Church Swampscott on Saturday, March 7, 2026.
