One of the most historic religious and cultural events reaches a momentous milestone this summer, when the Our Lady of Mount Carmel Society hosts its 150th annual festival and procession Sunday through Friday, July 14-19. It is the longest running Italian-American festival in the U.S. honoring the faith and traditions of the region’s Catholic community.

Each day of the festival includes a carnival, food vendors, live entertainment, fireworks and devotional activities held on the grounds of the Mount Carmel Society at 1 Mount Carmel Lane in downtown Hammonton.
