More About International Marketplace Coalition

The International Marketplace Coalition is a non-profit organization whose focus is on strengthening the economy of the area formerly known as the Lafayette Square Area. This 2.5 square miles houses the International Marketplace +80 ethnic restaurants, +40 grocers, and a community which speak over 150 languages. 'Shrinking the globe to create a village' is the IMC mission. We do this by increasing knowledge and understanding of different cultures through food, dance, and song. We have events through-out the year which allows participants to experience cultures around the world without leaving the city of Indianapolis.
In addition to participating in events, we would also like to extend an invitation for you to come and check out our Welcome Center at 3685 Commercial Drive. You will see artifacts which were donated to the Center from all around the world. We have event halls and conference rooms which we book (ask for Maria). Mary Clark (Executive Director) loves meeting people and seeing if she can assist new businesses coming into the area. Already have a culinary business (restaurant/shop/grocer) that isn't listed in our Food Guide of the area? Ask for Sherri. Or just want a good recommendation of where to go? Ask any of us!

As a general rule, our publishers are happy to accept non-profit events, but some publishers may have individual policies concerning for-profit events or events that compete with paying Town Planner sponsors. If you're uncertain about your event, please feel free to contact your local publisher to inquire about his or her policies prior to posting.

Remember too that we are a family friendly organization and reserve the right to reject any events that we deem inappropriate for our calendar or online media tools.
