Blue Man Group will be doing a special pop-up performance at the 112th annual Fisherman’s Feast in Boston’s North End on Saturday, August 20th at 7:30 pm. The Fisherman's Feast is free to attend.

Each August since 1910, the Feast has been held in Boston's historic North End on North and Fleet Streets. Traditionally starting on a Thursday evening when the statue of the Madonna is moved from her home in the Fisherman's Club to a chapel at the center of the feast, the fishermen that founded the Feast are remembered with a blessing of the fishing waters.

In addition to Blue Man Group, Friday night, Saturday, and Sunday, there will be entertainment on the bandstand from Boston favorites including Vinyl Groove and Felicita & Friends, along with vendors selling Italian delicacies as well as crafts.

The Fisherman's Feast is an annual event that began in Boston in 1910 and is based on a tradition that goes back to the 16th century in Sciacca Sicily. The Feast is based on the devotion of the fishermen from Sciacca to the Madonna del Soccorso (Our Lady of Help). Each August since 1910, the Feast has been held in Boston's historic North End on North and Fleet Streets, making it the North End's oldest continuously running Italian festival. The Feast culminates on Sunday night with the spectacular "Flight of the Angel." For more information, please visit www.fishermansfeast.com.
