The public is invited to the inaugural Feast of Saint Francis Cathedral, an Italian street fair with a Metuchen twist. The event will run from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Oct. 2 at the Cathedral of St. Francis of Assisi Campus, 548 Main St.

“It has long been the desire of many people in our community to design and execute a major event that would attract friends, family neighbors new and old to come together to enjoy the good things of life,” Rev. Timothy Christy said in a welcoming letter about the feast.
