Live music all three days by top bands including Hit 'n' Run--voted Buffalo's top rock band in 2008. Friday Car/motorcycle Show sponsored by Rick Bokman, Inc. Raffle drawings, basket raffles, Irish crafts sale, children's games, "I Got It" BINGO style, games of chance, Budweiser, live sporting events on big-screen tv in the gaming area and much more!
I remember the good ol' days when the St. Mary's festival was held at Gargoyle Park. The grand prize of the raffle each year was a new car. I remember as a kid when my mom and dad worked the beer tent. Those were the days!
