106th Annual Saint Anthony's Feast

Let's meet at the Boston Public Market and head to the North End to enjoy the Saint Anthony Festival. I will be waiting at the beer garden outside the Boston Public Market from 6:30-7pm and then head to the North End.

If you cannot join the group at that location and at that time it will be an exercise in futility trying to find us in the crowd or through posting on Meetup. Especially if it is your first event with us. So please be there on time.

The plan is to head back to The Point or The Green Dragon Tavern around 9pm - 9:30 pm.

About the Festival:

Each year, the people of the North End invite you to celebrate with them as they honor their patrons, Saint Anthony and Saint Lucy, with colorful parades, religious services, strolling singers, live entertainment, and an abundance of great Italian and American food.

What began in 1919 by Italian immigrants from the small town of Montefalcione in Avellino, Saint Anthony’s Feast has become the largest Italian Religious Festival in New England. Named the “Feast of all Feasts” by National Geographic Magazine, this authentic Italian street festival caters to people of every age: parades, strolling singers, live entertainment, contests, and religious services are held daily.

Visitors stroll the beautifully decorated streets sampling the best Italian street foods from 100 pushcarts, enjoying arancini, sausage peppers & onion, quahogs, calamari, pizza, pasta, and, of course, zeppole, cannoli, and gelato. Guests can also browse the wide selection of souvenir keepsakes and mementos.
