Madonna del Soccorso (Fisherman's Feast) — North End 2026

The Fisherman's Feast — the Madonna del Soccorso procession of the Sicilian fishing community of Boston's North End — runs the second-to-last weekend of August. Four days of street processions, brass bands, sausage-and-peppers stalls, and the Sunday-night Flight of the Angel down Lewis Street. Less famous than Saint Anthony's a week later but equally photogenic. T to Haymarket. Adults 21+ stick to MA's public-consumption rules — the streets and feasts are public space.
