Every August, Boston's North End hosts four major feasts & processions. The 105th Annual Feast of Saint Agrippina kicks the month off with a four-day street festival, and the festivities continue through the last full weekend of August with the 100th Annual Feast of Saint Anthony!
• 105th Annual Feast of Saint Agrippina
Thu, 8/1 – Sun, 8/4
See the procession, eat some food, play some games and listen to the music. VIVA SAINT AGRIPPINA!
• 99th Madonna Della Cava Feast
Fri, 8/9 – Sun, 8/11
On the second week of each August, the North End celebrates the Feast of Madonna Della Cava, which coincides with the festival held in Pietraperzia, Sicily.

The Fisherman's Feast is an annual event that began in Boston in 1910 and is based on a tradition that goes back to the 16th century in Sciacca Sicily. It is Boston's oldest continuous Italian festival.
