Can’t miss! Little Italy’s Feast of the Assumption is more than just a religious celebration — it’s about celebrating Cleveland’s Little Italy neighborhood. The festival, celebrating Mary’s ascent into Heaven, beings with the first mass on Thursday at 10am. Following the services, booth vendors take to the streets and Cleveland’s best Italian food is ripe for the picking.
Not just food. In addition to the food and religious events, there is also live music, children’s activities and much more (party!). The church stands are open every day throughout the event, and the most music is provided on Saturday. Show pride in your Italian heritage, celebrate a religious event, and enjoy some amazing food. C’mon, you know the drill — it’s one of the biggest events of the year.
