The Ave Maria town center will have a carnival atmosphere Saturday when the 3rd annual Ave Maria Family Fun Festival takes place from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The festival raises money for the Donahue Academy and will feature activities for kids of all ages, including a bounce house, laser tag, paintball, a rock-climbing wall and other carnival games. Wrist bands for the games cost $9 in advance, available at the Donahue Academy, or $12 on Saturday. There's a maximum of $40 per family.

In the evening, there will be a "Family Champs" event, with families competing in 3-legged races, pie-eating contests, a sack race, relay race and tug of war.

Sunday, after the 8 a.m. and 10 a.m. Masses, the Knights of Columbus will have a pancake breakfast in the town center. Cost for the breakfast is $5 per adult, $2.50 for children under 12.
