About The Parish Family Festival

Divine Grace Parish will host its annual Family Festival from Friday, August 8 to Sunday, August 10, 2025, at the Saint Ferdinand Church site in Cranberry Township, PA.  This fun-filled community event is open to the public and this year offers a new attraction - amusement rides.

Upwards of 20,000 visitors are expected again at the Family Festival, which has been held at the Saint Ferdinand site for more than 60 years.  The event is important for building community and raising funds for parish ministries and outreach.

Divine Grace Parish is partnering in 2025 with Penn Premier Shows to offer amusement rides, food, and games. In addition to a wide range of entertainment and activities presented annually, festival goers will enjoy:

• Live music, carnival and skill games with prizes
• Dunk tank, food booths, raffle baskets, 50/50 drawings, bingo
• Nightly meals, White Elephant Sale
• A Kiddieland area with train rides, character experiences, a balloon artist and magician. 
• Tickets will be sold for a $15,000 cash raffle

Festival hours will be Friday and Saturday, 4- 10 pm, and Sunday, 3- 9 pm.  The dining hall and White Elephant Sale open one hour earlier.

Live entertainment for the weekend includes:

• Friday- Star-Styled Dance, 5-6 pm; Scots on the Rocks, 7-10 pm
• Saturday- Bells School of Irish Dance, 5-6 pm; This, That & the Other Thing 7-10 pm 
• Sunday- Evolve Dance Complex, 4-5 pm; Spin Cycle 6-9 pm

For those looking to indulge in our many food offerings, nightly dinners will be served in the main hall and include an Italian pasta dinner (Friday), the popular chicken BBQ (Saturday), and a delicious stuffed pork chop meal (Sunday).  For more casual, on-the-go fare, food booth stations will be serving funnel cakes, walking tacos, french fries, pizza, pretzels, kettle corn, and more.

Perhaps one of the most anticipated and unique attractions of the Divine Grace Parish Family Festival is the White Elephant Sale.  Shoppers historically line up hours before opening to get early access to this impressive collection of gently used items.  With treasures covering 20,000 square feet of space under three large event tents, bargain hunters can find bikes, sports equipment, tools, kitchen appliances, decorations, baby items, toys, puzzles, games, books and much more at incredible prices.

All are invited to come and experience the welcoming atmosphere of Divine Grace Parish.
