Discovering Communities

Read more about Evansville’s international community in the January/February 2025 feature story.

Many churches and organizations provide forms of outreach to the region’s international populations, seeking to make them feel welcome while also giving the larger region opportunities for education and interaction.

A few clubs help connect native and non-native residents. One of them is the Tri-State International Club, which has existed for more than 20 years and has local membership from more than two dozen nations.

• Tri-State International Club
• Cultural Society of India
• Evansville Latin Dance
• Fiesta Evansville

Numerous houses of worship exist so residents can worship in their native languages and celebrate holidays from their homelands. Some religious organizations are specifically for people from other countries, while others offer services and programming.
