Feast of Saint Anthony
annually in June since 1904
hosted by St. Leo's parish
PORTA LA FAMIGLIA - BRING THE FAMILY! Our 2-day street festival includes delicious Italian food and desserts, vino and Italian/domestic beer, booths packed with game wheels, local vendors, used books, and more! There's an indoor sit-down pasta dinner, indoor Bingo in the Little Italy Lodge, roving costumers, live stage music, and an exciting bocce tournament. After Saint Leo's 9:30 am Mass on Sunday, a traditional street procession happens, with the statue of Saint Anthony or Saint Gabriele, a marching band, Knights of Columbus Color Guard, and the singing of the Italian and American national anthems. Watch the various eating contests on stage - or participate yourself!
FESTIVAL VENDORS: Businesses and individuals with products to sell (we especially like Italian-related products, yet not a criteria) are invited to participate in Saint Leo's Italian festival. Vendors have the option to do Friday evening, too, or only Saturday and Sunday, but MUST stay until festival close on both days. Booth size is 10' x 10' for a $300 donation to Saint Leo Church.
VOLUNTEERS: Many hands and smiles are needed to pull off a successful street festival! We depend on YOU! ATTENTION STUDENTS - Earn service hours! Can you donate some time to Saint Leo's Church as a festival volunteer? VIEW LIST OF JOBS AND SHIFT TIMES ON SIGNUP GENIUS.
