The famed Giglio Feast returned to Williamsburg on Wednesday. The feast, also known as the the Feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel after the eponymous neighborhood church, kicked off on July 6. Festivities will run through July 17 outside the storied house of worship.
The Giglio Feast is centered around a the Giglio, a seven-story-tall, four-ton tower, made of aluminum and adorned with papier-mache flowers, angels, and religious figures. Throughout the feast, over 100 men will lift and walk the tower through the streets of Williamsburg, all while a brass band performs at the base of the tower.
