Photos: St. Agnes Bazaar returns to RVC for a third year
The third annual St. Agnes Parish Bazaar took place this past weekend, from Friday, June 21 to Sunday, June 23. The event welcomed hundreds of attendees who flocked to Rockville Centre to enjoy the wide array of summertime activities and fun.
This annual tradition, a hidden gem from decades past, was brought back to life in 2022, and has since become one of the larger community gatherings in the village since the start of the coronavirus pandemic in March 2020.
The bazaar featured a delightful mix of attractions for thrill-seekers and young folk of all ages. The rides and attractions provided hours of entertainment for members of the community and surrounding areas who came to enjoy the festivities. The event also featured a variety of different games and amusements, which gave everyone a chance to test their skills and win prizes.
The food was another highlight of the event, featuring a variety of options, ranging from traditional carnival staples like cotton candy and funnel cakes to more substantial fare including hot dogs and burgers.
One of the event’s standout features is the biergarten, which kept the taps flowing throughout the weekend. It also played host to a number of live musical performances from local artists and bands, which filled the tent with lively tunes that had visitors dancing along with the music.
These talented performers donated their time and talent to perform, accepting no payment for their appearance. This generous gesture was made in order to capitalize on raising the maximum amount possible from the bazaar, so that both the parish and school can continue their vital work in ministry and education.
The success of this year’s event was a testament to the dedication and hard work of the organizers, volunteers and performers who helped make it all possible.
