Mired in a leadership dispute related to money, factions of two groups vow to hold separate San Rocco Festas this August. Those competing Italian festivals would take place on the same dates, but in different locations. One San Rocco Festa is set for Aug. 12-14 at a new location; a "field next to the Beaver Valley Auto Mall," at 750 Beaver Valley Mall Blvd., near the Beaver Valley Mall, according to the San Rocco Cultural Committee website.

Another San Rocco Festa, run by the San Rocco Foundation, also is set for those same dates, Aug. 12-14, at St. Frances Cabrini Campus of Mary, Queen of Saints Parish in Center Township. Both the San Rocco Cultural Committee and San Rocco Foundation events advertise they will host the traditional procession through the streets of Aliquippa following that weekend's Sunday Mass at St. Titus Church in Aliquippa.
