2025 Live Auction – Outdoor Main Stage

Bidding for the Live Auction will begin on the outdoor Main Stage at 6:00 pm on Saturday, May 17.  Bidding is fast and furious…and is loads of fun! Throughout the Italian Festival, the higher-ticket Live Auction items will be displayed in Room 104 in the Ministry Building and Online.  No bidding is allowed on the Live Auction items until the event begins on Saturday. Come, and see for yourself the featured auction items.

The Festival’s auctioneer has appointed “Spotters,” who are placed strategically throughout the Festival main stage area to spot your bid, generate excitement and energy. They will not only entertain you, but also make you want to join in the bidding action.  Live Auction Items will be viewable online prior to the Auction.

Please Note: All items purchased through both the Live and Silent Auctions will be available for pick-up immediately after the Live Auction. St. Philip Neri is not responsible for delivery, so please plan accordingly, especially for the larger items. We accept debit and credit cards as well as cash and checks.

2025 Silent & Live Auction Donations

We are still in need of both services and goods, such as vacation homes, sporting event tickets, gift cards from local businesses and cash donations to create packages. We estimate over 10,000 visitors to our festival so it is a great way to advertise! All donations are tax deductible and donors are recognized through various festival media. Please note, we are requesting new items only. If you are interested in donating to the 2025 Auctions, please contact Juli Tessier at spnifsilentauction@gmail.com. Items can be dropped off at the St. Philip Neri Storage Building after all Masses the weekend of April 26th & 27th.
