Around the World Tour: Waxahachie Giving Cup

June 8 – July 20, 2026
Downtown Waxahachie

As North Texas prepares to welcome visitors from around the globe for the FIFA World Cup festivities, Waxahachie is joining the celebration with an exciting international-themed experience right here in the heart of downtown.

The Around the World Tour: Waxahachie Giving Cup invites locals and visitors alike to experience cultures from across the globe through participating restaurants, bars, and businesses throughout Downtown Waxahachie. Each location will “host” a different country, offering themed menus, drinks, décor, and experiences that allow guests to explore the world without ever leaving Ellis County.

Visitors will be encouraged to pick up an official “Around the World Tour” passport and travel through participating locations as they experience global flavors, vibrant community spirit, and the excitement surrounding one of the world’s biggest sporting events.

We are honored to be the beneficiary of choice for the 2026 “The Giving Cup,” a friendly competition hosted among members of the Waxahachie Food & Beverage Collective benefiting C.A.R.E. Services. Through this community-wide initiative, participating businesses and visitors alike will help support the mission of C.A.R.E. Services while celebrating all things international during this exciting season for North Texas.

At C.A.R.E. Services, we believe in the power of community and the dignity of every individual. Rooted in compassion, we are committed to meeting immediate needs with respect and care while also providing the tools, resources, and support that empower lasting stability for families, veterans, first responders, and individuals across Ellis County.

Through advocacy, guidance, education, and hands-on support, we strive to provide more than temporary relief. Our mission centers around creating pathways toward independence, resilience, and long-term success through a “hand up, not a hand out” approach. By connecting neighbors to resources and opportunities, we are helping strengthen lives and build a stronger Ellis County for all.

With global energy, hometown hospitality, and a spirit of giving back, the Around the World Tour: Waxahachie Giving Cup is set to become one of the most exciting community celebrations of the summer.
