This year’s festival showcases a diverse lineup of over 135 international, documentary, short, and independent feature films screening across multiple Madison venues. From world premieres and American indies to restorations, rediscoveries, and films made right here in Wisconsin, there is something for every kind of film lover.

Attending the Wisconsin Film Festival is a chance to support local cinema, connect with fellow film lovers, and experience stories from around the world that you simply won’t find anywhere else — not in local theaters, and not on streaming.

Vengan Pa’ Ka Pop Up at The Deliciouser
2026-04-11 11:00 - 14:00 | The Deliciouser, 931 E. Main St. Suite 7, Madison, WI, 53703, United States
Vengan Pa’ Ka is dishing out innovative vegan cuisine throughout the Midwest. Our main objective is to provide sustainably grown, organic, plant-based products while supporting a conscious lifestyle. Sustainability is at the forefront of VPK’s ideology. We strive to obtain the majority of our produce from local, organic purveyors within Wisconsin and the surrounding areas. Our environmentally driven practices set us apart from the rest by putting a strong focus on eco-friendly products, zero-waste management, renewable resources, and community outreach. By providing innovative culinary techniques, we hope to entice even the non-vegan foodie into enjoying dishes that contribute to environmental sustainability and a conscious lifestyle. On-the-go, seasonal food options fuse together a variety of culinary techniques to create a final product that packs as much flavor as it does nutritional value.
Why the title?
The name “Vengan Pa’ Ka” is a vital component of this company’s manifestation. It is a welcoming call to all. Vengan is a Spanish verb that means “to come”; i.e. vengan a comer con nosotros – come and eat with us. Pa’ Ka is street slang; i.e. para acá – over here, but also alludes to the phonology of multicultural dialects. The multicultural symbolism in VPK represents the owner and head chef’s diverse background both in life as well as in cooking. Each dish is a fusion of different world cuisines with an emphasis on fresh, local sustainably-grown ingredients.
