The favorite feast with al fresco dining, food trucks, and zeppoles is scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 9, during the St. Liberata Fest after a parade. The celebration will continue on Main Street in Patchogue Village from noon onwards, with a bocce ball tournament and music.

This year, the village will be celebrating former Suffolk County Legis. Rob Calarco as the official Italian-American of the Year. “Rob was an exceptional elected official for many years and a village resident who loves his community,” said Patchogue Chamber of Commerce executive director David Kennedy.
