The oldest continuous Italian festival in the North End. Since 1910, this North End Feast has celebrated the devotion of immigrant Sicilian fishermen to the Madonna del Soccorso di Sciacca (Our Lady of Help).

When the fishermen immigrated to America in the early 1900s, they brought their traditions with them. Today's Feast is much the same as it was over 100 years ago, with lights adorning the street and the smell of sausage in the air.

The current Feast is organized by the descendants of those original immigrants and still includes a procession of the Madonna through the streets of the North End.

This year the Feast takes place on North, Lewis, and Fleet Streets with its usual enticing selection of entertainment, food and traditional processions.

NEW Security Protocols for 2025
There will be three security entrance points this year. All bags will be subject to search, no outside bottles or liquids will be allowed, and anyone under 21 will not be permitted to enter without an adult.

This added security aims to prevent 'visibly drunk' teens that came to the festival in 2023. These measures have been taken In an effort to maintain the environment of a family friendly festival.
