A variety of cultures, a variety of homemade food, and a variety of entertainment–all in one place for one weekend.

After a year off, the Good Samaritan Parish Festival returns to Ambridge from Thursday, September 2 to Sunday, September 5. The four-day event features live music every night, a homemade dinner every night, a big-money raffle, bingo, and much more.

Rose Filipponi & Leah Lesak joined Matt Drzik to talk about the festival and all of its different parts, from the team of cooks who prepare the hundreds of meals every night, to the diverse mass celebrations taking place over the weekend (one is the traditional polka mass, another a Latin mass featuring a mariachi band), and the litany of local flair being presented through song, food, and faith over the festival’s history.
