Event Details:
To ensure a flawless once-in-a-lifetime experience, the Festa will be held indoors at the St. Elijah Center (2200 Main Street, Aliquippa).

The San Rocco Festa, Western Pennsylvania’s longest-running ethnic event, is a vibrant celebration of Italian culture, rooted in devotion to Saint Rocco, the patron saint of Patrica, Italy. Since its inception in 1925, when 200 members of the Italian Political Citizens Club of Woodlawn organized the first gala event, the Festa has grown into a cherished tradition, drawing thousands from across the USA and beyond.
This landmark 100th celebration features an exciting lineup of entertainment. Headlining the event are The Skyliners, true national legends of doo-wop, who will deliver breathtaking harmonies and unforgettable ballads that defined an era. Their iconic 1959 smash, "Since I Don't Have You," remains a timeless masterpiece, influencing generations and proving their enduring power! Local favorite Mojo Dia and the Usual Suspects will bring classic rock, pop, and variety, while the San Rocco Festa Band delivers popular and traditional Italian favorites. Italian tenor Marco Fiorante from Cellino San Marco, Italy, and Ronnie Navarra’s captivating Elvis tribute will add flair to the festivities. The weekend culminates with the iconic Traditional Baby Doll Dance, accompanied by the unique sounds of the Ballabe Band.
Savor an array of Italian specialties from local vendors, including wood-fired pizza, gnocchi, stuffed shells, cavatelli, greens and beans, and eggplant parmesan. Sweet treats like homemade ciambelle, Italian anise wedding cookies, lemon cookies, and cannoli from vendors such as Kathy’s Katering, Cast’s Bakery, and the San Rocco Cultural Committee’s Dolci booth will satisfy dessert lovers.
The San Rocco Cultural Committee invites everyone to join us for a weekend of faith, family, and Italian heritage as we celebrate this milestone anniversary.
