Food Booths

Sat. 8/22/26 • 5:00-9:30 pm

When it comes to the parish festival, some of us come for the food! You can choose from a variety of options, like grilled burgers & hot dogs, Godfathers Pizza, Gringos tacos, or a great selection of authentic Hispanic food, including carnitas, agua fresca and Mexican street corn! But the festival wouldn't be the festival without homemade ice cream! Whether you like it best on a slice of homemade pie, in a root beer float, or in a dish with your favorite sundae syrup, you won't want to skip dessert!
