Feast of the Seven Fishes Festival

“A feast for the eyes – and the mouth!

Save the date: December 13, 2008

It's hard to believe that it's almost time for the third annual Feast of the Seven Fishes Festival. Last year was such a success - we were astounded out by the size of the crowd and the positive reaction that continued for months afterwards. The food, the music, the fellowship - Fairmont was alive with the Christmas spirit.

This year we are working hard to improve the festival while retaining its authentic Italian feeling. We already have confirmations of attendees from as far away as New York, Baltimore and Philadelphia. Word is spreading about Fairmont's unique holiday festival – and we’ve even received word that the Food Network, a nationally televised channel, is interested in filming the Feast and bringing national exposure to Fairmont!


Like always, we will have top notch vendors selling unique items and world class entertainment. Above all, the food is outstanding. After gorging on delicious Italian delicacies during the cooking school, celebrate with your neighbors at the Christmas parade. Afterward, a Catholic Mass will be held in the Fire Hall on Monroe Street. This festival is all about sharing the holiday season with our neighbors. Please join us!

Veteran's Day Parade


We were honored to attend the Veteran's Day Parade on Tuesday. What a great sense of pride we felt being surrounded by veterans and the community who came out on a cold day to support them. The ceremony on Veteran's Plaza was also very moving and a real tribute. Thank You Veterans!
