The Sorrento Cheese Fisherman’s Feast, Boston’s oldest continuous Italian Festival, celebrates its 101st year this summer. Since 1911, this North End Feast has celebrated the devotion of immigrant Sicilian fishermen to the Madonna del Soccorso di Sciacca (Our Lady of Help).
This year the Feast will feature an enticing selection of entertainment, food and traditional processions. Special guests this year will be 50 representatives from Sciacca, Italy who will participate in the festivities.
Live Entertainment takes place on The Sorrento Cheese stage on North & Lewis Streets.

Flight of the Angel
This is the highlight of the Feast for many people. All day on Sunday, members of the Fisherman's club and their families carry the statue of the Madonna in a procession through the streets of the North End.
When the Madonna returns to North Street late in the afternoon (see schedule of events), it is time for the grand finale. A young girl dressed as an angel will fly out of a third story window and down to the Madonna. After a short prayer she is raised back up into the window to the cheer of the crowd and showers of confetti.
