The key word here is “feast.” That’s because this four-day extravaganza, which is actually a religious festival marking the Virgin Mary’s passage into heaven, is known for tons of great Italian eats. So grab some pizza or cannoli and check out the celebration, which takes over Little Italy and shuts down Mayfield Road. Whether you’re Catholic, or just want to join the party, the mix of food, people and music is a feast for all your senses.
