On Saturday, March 22, the 11th Annual Feast of St. Joseph Celebration will be held at St. Joseph Center in North Little Rock. The feast of St. Joseph is a Sicilian tradition to welcome spring and give thanks for the bounty of the coming season. A St. Joseph Altar will be set up to accept nonperishable food items as guests arrive at 11 a.m., followed by a blessing of the gardens to welcome the abundance spring brings. At noon, a spaghetti lunch will be served, including salad, bread and dessert, and a reading of the story “Giovanni and the Fava Beans” to share the significance of fava beans during famine.
Lunch tickets are $10, and children under 7 eat free. Proceeds will be used to preserve the heritage at St. Joseph Farmstead. Tickets available at zeffy.com/en-US/ticketing/feast-of-st-joseph-fundraiser-march-22–2025.
