St. Anthony’s Feast Days are coming up, and the annual celebration in Endicott will offer Italian food, music and fun for the whole family.
The celebration starts June 12 and will continue through June 14 at St. Anthony of Padua at 300 Odell Ave. in the Village of Endicott.
The festival is held every year, right around the June 13 feast of the church’s patron, St. Anthony of Padua. He was a Portuguese Catholic priest and Franciscan friar, also known as the patron saint of fishermen, priests and travelers, according to Britannica.
Here’s everything you need to know about the three-day celebration in 2026.
