In this Weekend Update, North Central News takes you across Fitchburg for a weekend packed with culture, competition, and community.

We check in at Coolidge Park for the 11th Annual Raider Cup, where nearly 1,000 young athletes face off in a high-energy outdoor hockey tournament. Then it’s over to Saint Anthony of Padua Church for the Italian Festa, filled with food, family, and neighborhood pride. Finally, we head to Saima Park for Kesäjuhla, Fitchburg’s Finnish summer celebration, featuring live music, traditional cuisine, and scholarship awards from the Finnish Center.
