Festival Foods has partnered with Sheboygan Tourism and Sail Sheboygan to support the upcoming ISAF Nations Cup Grand Final and the festivities surrounding the event.
The ISAF Nations Cup event is the culmination of eight regional finals held across the globe, from which the top teams qualify to compete in the Grand Final held this year in Sheboygan, Wisconsin from September 13 to 18.
Throughout the week Festival Foods will present Nations Cup Week Celebrations along the Sheboygan shores to introduce the local and regional public to this event and the world of international Match Race Sailing.
