Fall Festival
​​September 9-10
50th Anniversary St. Boni’s Fall Festival
Saint Bonaventure Catholic Community will celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the St. Boni’s Fall Festival, the first weekend after Labor Day, September 9-10.

The St. Boni's Fall Festival is an annual outdoor community festival bringing thousands together with festival fun for everyone! We begin with a Hot Broasted Chicken Dinner on Friday evening from 4:30-7 p.m., and Saturday kicks off with a Kid’s Parade at 10 a.m. and festival fun all day, concluding with a "come as you are" Mass at 7 p.m.

There is truly fun for everyone, from kids' activities and crafts to live entertainment, a cash raffle, games of chance, and more than 200 classic cars. Fabulous food options reflect our diverse parish, from Vietnamese egg rolls made in our very own church kitchen to brats made for us by the Bart Barn, and a custom seasoning for our premier pork chops.

​Here are a few highlights this year:

26th Anniversary of the Car Show
More than 200 classic cars, trucks, and hot rods ’79 and older come from all over for the St. Boni’s Car Show.

Live Entertainment
Live performances by Sonar Worship, The Dakota Ramblers, and Wayne and the Boys.
