Giglio Feast
Shrine Church of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, 275 N 8th St, Brooklyn, NY
![]()
For twelve days each July, Williamsburg's Shrine Church of Our Lady of Mount Carmel hosts the Giglio Feast, built around the tradition of lifting and carrying an 80 foot tower called the giglio through the streets. Italian immigrant laborers began the feast in 1887, and it remains one of the oldest continuously run street feasts in New York. Nightly food, games, and entertainment fill the blocks around the church.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
