2026 ST. GABRIEL SUMMER FESTIVAL
Event Goal: $60,000 Our goal for the summer festival is $60,000.
The proceeds from the festival have been used for projects that improve the school and preschool buildings for the last 13 years. This year, we will use the proceeds to help with the purchase of a new rooftop HVAC system in our Gym/Multi-purpose Building. Our current HVAC until is 33 years old and needs replacement immediately.
In 2025, we raised $56,647 ($3,353) overcoming weather obstacles that caused a shutdown for over one hour. Click Below for our 2025 Summer Festival Summary Report.

Calendar of Events
FOOD OPTIONS ON CAMPUS
5 pm to 10 pm
We have a great sampling of "fair food" at our festival. We will be serving fish sandwiches, hot dogs, brats and pizza in the festival area. So, if you don't want chicken or didn't make it in time for the Chicken Dinner, we still have options to serve you. KONA ICE and Adam's Chill Cart will be onsite for some cold sweet treats for you and your kids. Popcorn Station will also be here with $3 to $5 specialty popcorn bags.
Now, we are particularly partial to the newest Food Booth menu item - The Loaded Baked Potato. We have a whole potato bar set up for YOU! We provide the base; you build it anyway you want. We recommend the "Three Amigos."
Look for the Outside Food Booth around the side of the Gym/Multi-Purpose Building behind the Beer Ticket Booth. The Water/Soft Drink Booth is slightly hidden behind the Outside Dining Tent. MAP ABOVE
