What happens when your patronal feast falls on a Sunday?

Does any one know what the liturgical guidelines say about if a community (parish, etc.)'s feast day falls on a Sunday. 
For the church at large, it seems to me that it falls off the calendar for that year (unless it is a solemnity).
However, is the feast of your community's patron saint to be recognized a solemnity locally? May the prayers for that saint be used on a local level? 
Thanks. Our patroness is St. Anne, whose feast would be coming up in July and I am looking ahead to this.

I know you can move your local patron's feast to the nearest Sunday, but I believe it depends on what else is going on. I don't believe it can trump a special feast (like Corpus Christi, Easter, etc). Have you checked the GIRM?
