All proceeds go to the St. Peter’s Fiesta Committee to support the continuation of this Sicilian-American Italian tradition.

A commemorative book to celebrate the 90th anniversary of St. Peter’s Fiesta in Gloucester, MA, this story is about a young boy named Joey who doesn’t know what the Fiesta is all about. He wonders why it is so important to his family and the people in Gloucester.  He participates in the Fiesta with two of his cousins — Jacob and Amelia — and his Nonna (Nonna is the Italian word for grandmother). Throughout the celebration the children meet people who explain the various traditions and the meanings behind them.
