Begun in 1919 by Italian immigrants from the small town of Montefalcione in Avellino, Saint Anthony’s Feast in Boston's North End has become the largest Italian religious festival in New England. Named the “Feast of all Feasts” by National Geographic, this authentic Italian street festival has it all for people of every age: parades, strolling singers, live entertainment, contests and daily religious services.

A detailed schedule can be found on the festival's website. The feast day events occur in a variety of locations in the North End, including on Endicott, Thacher, and North Margin streets.
