It was a glorious return for the Blessed Trinity Parish Festival after being shut down in 2020 last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.  The Church was blessed with great weather for the four day Festival.  But more importantly, it was blessed with a fantastic crowd of families that enjoyed the Carnival Rides, Games, Fun Houses, Food, Drinks, Bingo, Garage Sale, and Auction.

Blessed Trinity Festival 2021 - Ferris Wheel

The Festival opened up on Thursday night at 6pm as the kids began to enjoy the rides and food and games.  Friday night kicked it up a notch as the crowds grew and the entertainment kicked up as well.  Saturday is usually the big highlight with families spending either part of their day and many the entire day at the Festival.  Saturday started off with a little cloud cover keep the temperatures cool.  However, by the early afternoon, the cloud cover had given way to sunny skies and a glorious Saturday afternoon.  The evening brought in some very comfortable temperatures with clear skies for just perfect festival weather.  Sunday was the close of the festival with sunny skies the whole day.

BLESSINGS AT THE FESTIVAL

The Festival has always been about fun, family, friends, and that other F-word…FAITH!  Father Hualpa had a special prayer and blessings for the Festival on Friday.

RIDES

Of course, you know the kids wanted to hurry and get on the rides.  And the Festival had lots of fun rides for kids of all ages.

Blessed Trinity Festival 2021 - Ferris Wheel

The big Ferris wheel has always been popular providing riders with beautiful views of Virginia Gardens, Miami Springs, and Miami International Airport.  And the cool comfortable weather was perfect to share a ride with your sweetheart.

The more adventurous kids enjoyed the ROCK-O-PLANE.  The Rock-O-Plane is what you get when your cross a Ferris Wheel with the famous Zipper ride.  You can go up and down and upside down.

Grilled Food at the Festival

One thing that photos, videos, or audio recordings can never replicate is the wonderful smell of food you get while entering the Festival grounds. There was a lot of food to be had from Pan con Lechon, to steaks, to sausages, and so much more.  Just thinking of all that food makes my mouth water.

Blessed Trinity Parish Festival 2021 - Virginia Gardens EntranceThe great weather and the desire to come together again, in person, and enjoy this wonderful Miami Springs and Virginia Gardens tradition was expressed by the big crowds at the Festival, especially on Saturday and Sunday.  Mind you, this was the first time the Blessed Trinity Parish Festival had to compete with the Miami-Dade County Youth Fair which was having its final weekend at the same time.
