Revenue generated at this venue sustains local healthcare and social assistance services provided by the Franciscan order.
The event relies heavily on the labor of regional volunteers who prepare the food in large, community-style kitchens.
Corn Party, locally identified as the 'Festa do Milho' held in Jaci, is a community-focused gastronomic event hosted by the Franciscanos na Providência de Deus. The venue functions primarily as a seasonal hub for philanthropic fundraising activities in the São José do Rio Preto region. Visitors primarily attend to access traditional Brazilian corn-based culinary products prepared by local volunteers. The event infrastructure supports large-scale communal dining and social gatherings within the grounds of the religious complex. It serves as a significant regional landmark for cultural food traditions rather than a permanent entertainment park. Proceeds from the venue’s activities are directed toward supporting social and health projects managed by the Franciscan order.
