Sunday: bulk pickup only in Herrmann Hall

Carnival Rides

The Giant Slide alone usually earns a few repeat trips. Pick your favorite, climb aboard and come back for another round.

Closed Sunday

Midway Games

Try the classics, win a prize, and then somehow get talked into one more game on the way out.

Closed Sunday

Pastor Blaster

Pick your favorite priest, or at least his cutout, and see if your water balloon aim is as good as you think it is.

Water balloons · all ages

Bingo

If you need a quieter spot for a while, bingo in the Parish Activity Center is the place to sit down and play a few cards.

Fri & Sat · 6-10 PM

Dice Game

The dice table gets loud in the best way. Pull up a spot and see who has the hot roll.

Games of chance for all ages

Basket Auction

Walk the rows, find the basket everyone in your house would want, and put your name down.

Instant Bingo

Tear-offs are quick, easy, and just risky enough to be fun. Pick a few, check the tabs and listen for the winners.

Tear-offs available all weekend

Local businesses donate some genuinely good stuff here. Check early, then come back before the bids close.

Bidding closes Saturday at 10 PM

Homecooked at Seton

Prepared by our Army of Cooks

During festival weekend, parish volunteers fill the kitchen cooking, chopping, baking, and serving the popular dishes people come back for every year.

It is a real parish effort: familiar recipes, familiar faces behind the counter, and plenty of hands helping keep the festival favorites moving all weekend long.

Forty-three years of memories

See You on the Grounds

From the lights of the midway to the smell of the food tent, this is what a weekend at Seton feels like, especially when you run into people you know.
