As soon as the July Fourth Weekend passes, church festival starts up. That’s how it worked in Kenosha, year after year — and spaghetti dinner after spaghetti dinner. Then 2020 happened, and COVID-19 restrictions shut down church festival season.

This summer, a few parishes will again be hosting festivals, but up first this weekend is a festival replacement: Our Lady of Mount Carmel Catholic Church’s “Curbside Summer Food to Go” fundraiser outside the church, 5400 19th Ave. The event is open 4 to 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday (July 9-10) and 3 to 7 p.m. Sunday. All the food is packaged “to go” and will be brought to your vehicle.
