St. Gabriel's 27th Annual Festival!

There's something for everyone at our festival! Monte Carlo, rides, delicious food, games, and local entertainment! And watch the CAVS!

Since 1988, The St. Gabriel Festival has become a herald of the summer season. When temperatures warm, tents go up, rides roll in, smells from delicious food waft from the grills and ovens, school comes to a close, kids smile with excitement and you know it’s unmistakably Festival time! The Catholic Community of St. Gabriel invites our friends and neighbors in Lake County to be a part of our 27th Annual Summer Festival, an amazing four-day event June 11-14.

This year’s Festival features a Grand Prize raffle for a $20,000 first place prize or your choice of a 2015 Buick LaCrosse or a 2015 Chevy Camaro. Vehicles provided by Classic GMC of Painesville. Second place prize is $1,000. Drawing will be held on Sunday, June 11 at 9:30 p.m. Winner need not be present to win. Tickets are available for sale at parish office or at the festival!

Try your luck at our Monte Carlo held each night of the Festival. Delectable food such as homemade peorogies, cabbage rolls and noodles, bakery items, our famous fresh-cut French fries, roasted corn and festival favorites like hamburgers, ice cream, pizza and slushies beckon our guests back year after year. Enjoy live entertainment each Festival evening with Northeast Ohio’s favorite bands like Disco Inferno, MyTH and Company, Driven, Blue Stone Union, Pieces of Eight, The Dan Wojtila Band, and Caliber. Games, gambling and entertainment sponsored by Lake Health, Environmental Conditioning Systems, Painesville Dental Group, Lake Catholic, and Fioritto Dental Associates. Families will enjoy rides for all ages with all-day ride passes or individual ticket options available, as well as fire truck rides and face painting. There’s something for everyone at the St. Gabriel Summer Festival!
