Every July, Brooklyn’s Williamsburg neighborhood comes alive with the vibrant and historic Our Lady of Mount Carmel Feast. The Giglio, an 80-foot tall, four-ton tower, is lifted and paraded through the streets by dedicated lifters. This event is a testament to the strength, unity, and faith of the community. The tradition dates back over 100 years, originating from Nola, Italy, and has become a cornerstone of Italian-American culture in New York City. Key Events: • Children’s Giglio Lift: A special event for the young ones to participate in this cherished tradition. • Night Lift of Giglio: The Giglio dance under the stars. • Old-Timer’s Lift: Celebrating the seasoned lifters who have kept this tradition alive for decades. 📍 Location: Our Lady of Mount Carmel, 275 N 8th St, Brooklyn, NY #OLMCFeast #GiglioLift #italy #olmc #newyork #newyorkcity #travel #brooklyn #BrooklynEvents #ItalianCulture #NYCEvents #ReligiousTraditions #HeritagePride #CommunityUnity #VivaItalia #NYCFeast #CulturalFestivals #FaithAndTradition #NYCInsta #BrooklynLife #NYCParades
