Jessup's St. Ubaldo Festival is usually held on the Saturday of Memorial Day Weekend. It always draws in thousands of people, and the main event is, of course, always the race.

But in 2013, a new St. Ubaldo tradition was born. That is when the borough in Lackawanna County received a life-size statue of the patron saint. It is an exact replica of the one in Jessup's sister city, Gubbio, Italy.
