In what National Geographic called “A Spectacle not to be missed” The Fisherman’s Feast closes with the annual “Flight of the Angel.”
After a day-long procession of the Madonna del Soccorso di Sciacca through the streets of the North End of Boston, members of the Fisherman's Club bring the Madonna statue to North Street where two angels on balconies on either side of the street recite an Italian devotion. This culminates in the entrance of the flying angel, descending from a third-story window to meet the Madonna, and concludes with a rainfall of confetti on the astounding street celebration below.
This year’s “Flight of the Angel” ceremony will be held at 9PM on Sunday August 16th]. The 2020 Flying Angel will be played by Mia Graffeo with Gianna Puccio & April Palazzolo Cedano as the Side Angels.
Boston is renowned for its numerous, exceptional Italian restaurants, but have you ever wondered which one serves the best meatball? Find out for yourself in the Annual Boston's Best Meatball Contest, presented and hosted by the Fisherman’s Feast!
Each year, several Boston Area restaurants compete for the coveted prize of Boston's Best Meatball. Festival goers are welcome to try a meatball from each restaurant, then vote on which one they think is best. At the end of the tasting period, the top vote-getters will be brought to a panel of judges who will decide which restaurant makes The Best Meatball.

This is the highlight of the Feast for many people. All day on Sunday, members of the Fisherman's club and their families carry the statue of the Madonna in a procession through the streets of the North End.
When the Madonna returns to North Street late in the afternoon (see schedule of events), it is time for the grand finale. A young girl dressed as an angel will fly out of a third story window and down to the Madonna. After a short prayer she is raised back up into the window to the cheer of the crowd and showers of confetti.
Yankee Magazine calls it "Truly one of Boston’s greatest treasures!" and National Geographic says “It’s a spectacle NOT to be missed!’"
