Begun 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, this authentic Italian street festival has it all for people of every age: parades, strolling singers, live entertainment, contests and daily religious services.
Visitors stroll the beautifully decorated streets sampling the best Italian street foods from 100 pushcarts, enjoying arancini; sausage; peppers and onion; quahogs; calamari; pizza; pasta; and, of course, zeppole, cannoli and gelato. Guests can also browse the wide selection of souvenir keepsakes and mementos.
