The St. Mary of Carmen Society is holding its 89th Annual Italian-American Festival in Pellegrini Park this week—through Sunday—and the carnival has attracted scores of families eager to get out and soak in the summer night air while it lasts.
More than 10,000 people attend the event each year, according to the Society’s website.
There’s something about combining live music, the smell of delicious greasy food and the glow of bright lights through the hazy July air that will bring a community together in Nonantum.
The festival started on Wednesday and runs all weekend. You can see a schedule of bands and other festival events here.
The St. Mary of Carmen Society has been helping local families and organizations in need since 1935, and the organization hosts events throughout the year to raise money to keep helping those in need.
Below are some photos from the Carnival. And make sure to get there yourself if you can.
