87TH ANNUAL SUMMER FESTIVAL

The Festival has been moved from its usual week in July to August 12 – 16, 2020. While not centered on the Feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, this year, it revolves around the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. The hours of the Festival have been condensed to 11am – 7pm each day (no break in the middle, but ending after the traditional dinner hour). The components of the Festival have been scaled back to accommodate appropriate social distancing. There will be no rides, bocce tournament, bingo or bands (activities that tend to invite close social contact). The variety of food at the Festival will be reduced to accommodate less workers and proper spacing in lines, while still focusing on the major Festival treats so many look forward to: Cheesepuffs, Twists, Red Pizza, Sausage Sandwiches, Cavatelli, Hot Dogs, French Fries, Pop and Lemonshakes. There will be a large “Social Distance Dining” area provided, while also encouraging many people to “take out”. The Grand Prize Raffle will be drawn at 7:00pm on Sunday, August 16, 2020.
