For over 30 years, the Sacred Heart Multicultural Festival has offered diverse food and local entertainment for the entire community. Enjoy the different flavors of Filipino, Mexican, Vietnamese, and Indian food as well as some Texan favorites like fried fish, turkey legs, BBQ sandwiches and sausage.
