One of Rhode Island’s longest standing traditions will make its 82nd annual appearance this weekend in Johnston. It’s called the St. Rocco’s Feast and Festival which will officially open Thursday, Aug. 18, at 6 p.m. on the grounds behind the Roman Catholic church at 927 Atwood Ave. The feast will run through Sunday, Aug. 21 at approximately 10 p.m. after tickets for a total of $7,500 in cash prizes have been drawn.
“We’ll be rolling out our welcome mat for visitors to come and enjoy the finest in Italian cooking,” said Richard Montella, who is serving as co-chairman for the 15th consecutive year. “We pride ourselves on serving only the freshest homemade food. Our signature item is, of course, our delicious doughboy donated by the Original Italian Bakery.”
