Thousands of people of all ages attended this year’s St. Mary’s Feast held from July 18 to July 22. The festival held each year by the St. Mary’s Feast Society has Italian food and music with two main stages. One is at the Knightsville Gazebo and the second is at the Feast Society’s Main Stage under the tent. Some of the featured acts were TLC Dance Studio, Robert Black-Elvis Tribute, General Centracchio Band, Mastery Martial Arts, Timeless, Pearl Band and Lady D.

Although bad weather was a factor on Sunday for the Processional, a scaled back version weaved through the Knightsville neighborhood after a special Mass at St. Mary’s Church.

Throughout the Feast there was a wide selection of food and beverage choices along with many vendors, such as Henna Tattoos and t-shirts, were also available.
