The 10th annual (twice covid canceled) St. Joseph’s Day Italian Festival on March 19 sponsored by the Ocean City Lodge of the Sons and Daughters of Italy and St. Luke’s/St. Andrew’s Catholic Church was another big success and our best attended to date.

We had close to 1,500 attendees enjoy our home-cooked Italian meals and baked goods. As the many attendees wandered St. Andrew’s Hall, they bought Italian specialty foods and merchandise, participated in our large silent auction and basket raffles (61 baskets all valued over $100), enjoyed many rollicking Italian songs mixed in with ’70s and ’80’s classics, and played some games of chance.
