Fisherman's Feast of Boston is the oldest continuous Italian festival in Boston, Massachusetts, dating back to 1910. This annual event celebrates the devotion of immigrant Sicilian fishermen to the Madonna del Soccorso di Sciacca, featuring traditional parades, street vendors, and a religious procession through the narrow streets of the North End district. The Feast offers a variety of entertainment, including live music performances, and a wide selection of Italian food and crafts.
Organized by the descendants of the original immigrants, Fisherman's Feast takes place in Boston's historic North End on North and Fleet Streets. The festival begins with the moving of the Madonna statue to a chapel at the center of the feast, followed by a blessing of the fishing waters. Throughout the weekend, visitors can enjoy delicious Italian sausages, calamari, pizza, pasta, and more from the vendors, as well as explore various crafts. The Feast culminates with the spectacular Flight of the Angel on Sunday night.
