For almost a century, the Feast of Saint Anthony has brought the Bemerside community together in celebration, faith and friendship. On Sunday, 14th June, locals gathered around St Anthony’s Chapel for the 99th annual celebration of a much-loved tradition that continues to connect generations. Families and friends enjoyed a day filled with laughter, great food and community spirit, with barbecues, cannolis, raffles, live music and plenty of entertainment for all ages. As the milestone 100th celebration approaches in 2027, preparations are already underway to honour the history and legacy of this special community event.
