The Feast of St. Anthony is celebrated every year in the North End of Boston, Massachusetts on the weekend of the last Sunday in August. The feast has been celebrated since 1919 when a group of Italians from Montefalcione settled in the North End of Boston. They began a society called the Sant'Antonio Di Padova Montefalcione which devoted their honor to their patron saint. People come from all across the world to see the decorated streets and parade dedicated to St. Anthony. National Geographic christened St. Anthony’s feast as “The feast of all feasts”. The Italians wanted to keep their heritage strong in America so they continued to celebrate the feast as they did in Italy. In Italy it is common to celebrate festivals and feasts for the Catholic religion, each saint having their own day.
