North End Italian Feasts and Festivals Four of the biggest and most famous North End Italian Feasts and Festivals take place in August, as they have for over 100 years — almost as long as Italians have lived in this neighborhood. Most of the North End feasts celebrate a saint with food, music, religious ceremonies, parades, strolling singers, celebrations, and more — they're like giant street parties. In general, opening ceremonies take place on Friday evenings, with other events starting around 1 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday and continuing until about 11 p.m. High Mass usually takes place on Sunday morning.
