On Monday, July 27, we are honoring World Citizen Day: a day that celebrates individual rights, recognizes world citizens, and reflects on what it means to be a world citizen.
We’re excited to share that Carlie Irsay‑Gordon, Owner and Chief Executive Officer of the Indianapolis Colts, has been named the 2026 International Citizen of the Year.

Through an interactive and immersive curriculum, participants will engage in thought-provoking discussions, hands-on learning experiences, and networking opportunities with esteemed global leaders.
The Festival Fund was established in 2011 to support and promote the activities of organizations in the greater Indianapolis area that enrich life by celebrating cultural diversity and expression and showcasing the growing number of nationalities represented in Central Indiana. Qualifying community organizations may apply to receive funding to support their international or cultural event in grant awards ranging from $250-$2,000. This grant is supported by Indiana Members Credit Union, MIBOR Realtor Association, Indiana Language Roadmap, and Indy Eleven.
On Monday, July 27, celebrate individual rights, recognize world citizens, and reflect on what it means to be a world citizen.
