This four day family festival is held each year in mid-August. There are amusement rides, live entertainment, food, and lots more. Volunteers are always needed to assist with the numerous jobs required for an event this large. 

If you are new in the parish (or even if you have been here for years) here's your chance to get involved with this fun festival. We are always looking for volunteers of all ages to work on all aspects of the festival. If you are interested, or would like more information, call the rectory, 528-0020 or email us at parishpublishing@stmarysfranklin.org
