Sun 8/15
“The Feast” in Little Italy is one of Cleveland’s oldest traditions, cheered for 122 years (but not last year!) Technically, it’s the Feast of the Assumption, celebrating the day that Mary was taken into heaven. That day, August 15, is celebrated by a special mass, led by the bishop, and a procession through the streets of the neighborhood featuring a Mary float and costumed participants representing regions in Italy, followed by anyone who wants to join them — and this year: mayoral candidates!!!! Dennis Kucinich was everywhere!
For many though, the Feast is literally a feast, as the area’s multitude of restaurants set up along Mayfield and serve up virtually any Italian dish you can think of.
