There were tons of booths with food, games, souvenirs, and samples. It was fun just to walk around the neighborhood exploring the booths, smelling the aromas of Italian food and people watching.
There was a stage with a band set up on one end of the festival.
There was also a band that marched along with the statue of St. Anthony as they paraded up and down the streets. At some point they released a ton of confetti to great fanfare, but because the associate speech was all in Italian I have no idea what was really going on. It was exciting though.
The statue of St. Anthony is paraded up and down the streets for ten hours. It was hard to get close because there was always a swell of people around him, but I did manage to take a few decent shots.
