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
The CODFATHER IS SERVING…ALONG WITH A VARIETY OF FAIR FOOD
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. New this year… the Pulled Pork Sandwich and the Walking Shrimp Cocktail…which sounds delectable. KONA ICE and Haywood’s Dairy Ice Cream will be onsite for some cold sweet treats for you and your kids. Popcorn Station will also be here with specialty popcorn bags.
Now, we are particularly partial to the fan-favorite menu item – Build Your Own Potato. We have a whole potato bar set up for YOU! We provide the base; you build it anyway you want.
Look for the Outside Food Booth around the side of the Gym/Multi-Purpose Building near the Beer Truck. Multiple non-alcoholic and alcoholic drink options are available. Inside and outside dining seating is plentiful. MAP BELOW
