St. Ippolito Society
Many people of San Ippolito that migrated to America and
settled in Lansing, Michigan decided to continue their
festival tradition. Since the first festival in 1938 held at
Resurrection Church, the St. Ippolito Festival has been
celebrated on the grounds of Saint Cornelius Cyprian
Catholic Church at Bunker Hill, Michigan. More than 1,500
people from mid-Michigan’s Italian American community
come together to honor their beloved saint on the second
Sunday of August every year. The Festival begins with a
mass, followed by a procession and singing of the “Procession Song” in Italian. The
festival is a time to share food with family and friends and reminisce about festivals gone
by while celebrating our Italian heritage. There are games, music and activities for people
of all ages.
