Thousands of people typically take to the streets in Lackawanna County for Memorial Day weekend for the annual St. Ubaldo Day festivities. For the second year in a row, it was canceled due to the pandemic. However, that did not stop the St. Ubaldo Society in Jessup from celebrating all together.

The festival has been held in conjunction with one in Gubbio, Italy, since 1909. The Italian Festival was first started in the 1100s. The annual Race of the Saints took place on a much smaller scale on Saturday. Organizers brought the life-size St. Ubaldo statue for a spin around the borough.
