Italian Feast Returns to Scotch Plains This Weekend
The Scotch Plains-Fanwood Chapter of UNICO, St. Bartholomew's Church and St. Bartholomew's Academy, host the annual festival.
Hosted by the Scotch Plains-Fanwood Chapter of UNICO, St. Bartholomew's Church and St. Bartholomew's Academy, the Labor Day Italian Feast has been an annual tradition honoring San Nicola di Bari, the patron saint of the town of Montazzoli, Italy since 1974.
This weekend marks the festival's 39th year.
The family event has something for everyone, including nightly live music, rides, games, and food including favorites like pizza, pasta, zeppoles, clams, mussels, and calzones. In addition, there are nightly 50/50 drawings and a super 50/50 raffle on Monday.
Proceeds from the feast benefit three organizations:
- St. Bartholomew the Apostle Church
- The St. Bartholomew Academy
- The charitable causes of the Scotch Plains-Fanwood Chapter of UNICO
