Held since 1902, making it one of the longest-running Italian festivals in the region.

The festival specifically honors Our Lady of the Assumption and Saint Rocco a tradition started in 1902.

Parishioners hand make the zeppole (fried dough), a fan-favorite treat, using a secret recipe.

On the final day, statues of the patron saints are carried through the streets, accompanied by a marching band.
