Every June, St. Peter’s Fiesta brightens Gloucester harbor, but how did the tradition begin?

Whether it’s your first Fiesta or your 70th, all will love the stories of Laura Ventimiglia, author of the newly published children’s book, Nonna, What is St. Peter’s Fiesta? Ventimiglia will host this special Fiesta storytime for CAM Kids and families.

Circle around for storytime, then sharpen your drawing skills in a free mini-class in illustration from the book’s illustrator Maura O’Connor of Montserrat College of Art, inspired by the sights of St. Peter’s Fiesta.

All ages are welcome to this free family event. Registration encouraged; contact [email protected] or call (978) 283-0455 x16.
