It's that time of year again - for the 96th year in a row!

The Mount Carmel Feast, one of the longest continuously running parish festivals in the northeast, is underway this weekend in Watertown.

With plenty of rides and good food, it's the traditional kick-off to summer for many people in the north country.

But organizers say, this three-day event is also about bringing people together:

"It brings together families who come together every year. They have their family reunions and they come together and they center it around the Mount Carmel Feast. So it's a time for families to come together, celebrate family unity," said Father Donald Robinson.

If you weren't able to get over to the feast yet, you still have time.

The Feast wraps up Sunday night with the traditional fireworks display.
