About GorettiFest

GorettiFest is an annual festival to raise money for Saint Maria Goretti Catholic School, the premier Catholic School in Arlington.

We've been hosting this massive fall event for years! Since 1964, GorettiFest has brought families throughout Arlington together for a weekend of fun and fellowship. The event has changed some over the years, but many of our traditions have been around for decades!

Every dollar you spend at GorettiFest goes directly to helping Saint Maria Goretti provide a one-of-kind Catholic education to hundreds of students. We are excited to see you there!

Help us make GorettiFest a success! There are tons of ways to volunteer, or you can make a tax-deductible donation to help us gather the supplies we need to make GorettiFest an unforgetable experience for everyone!
