For nearly a century, local residents have enjoyed the family-friendly festivities of the annual Italian Festival, sponsored by the Our Lady of Mount Carmel Society. This year's feast is slated for Aug. 2 and 3 from 5-11 pm., and Aug. 4 from 5-10 p.m. Admission is just $3, with children under 12 free.

The annual gathering of family and friends gives thanks to the Blessed Mother and celebrates the club's Italian heritage. The club was officially formed in 1926, and its yearly celebration offers outstanding live entertainment, rides and games and delicious homemade delicacies like pasta fagioli, sausage and peppers, ziti and meatballs, pizza and fried dough.
