Food and fun for the entire family!
Everyone is welcome to attend the St. Rocco - St. Anthony Society of Ishpeming's Italian Fest, regardless of their heritage. Although this event is a way for Italian-Americans to follow the Italian tradition of honoring St. Rocco and St. Anthony, it is also a time for all of us to enjoy food, music and family.
The 126th Italian Fest is scheduled to begin at noon on Saturday, July 26, 2025, at the Al Quaal Recreation Area with a day-long picnic. There is no admission fee and many of the children's activities are offered free of charge.
Visitors can once again enjoy homemade Italian food cooked by the Valela family which is to be sold at the society's food booth. In addition, various vendors will be serving cudighis, Italian sandwiches, hot dogs, sno cones, ice cream novelties and much more.
Other highlights of Italian Fest include bingo, a greased pole ($100 prize), a large glide slide, kid's inflatable bounce castle, children's games, games of chance and several arts & crafts vendors.
Our tentative musical entertainment for 2025 is as follows: From noon until 2:00 p.m. Combo Caliente will perform. At 2:30 p.m. Soundz of Time with Jan and Gino will perform on stage until 4:30 p.m. From 5:00-7:00 p.m. the Diamanti band of Chicago, Illinois will perform classic contemporary Italian and American music.
We hope to see you there!
