Feast of the Blessed Sacrament

About

Held in New Bedford at Madeira Field, the 110th annual Feast of the Blessed Sacrament is New England's largest free event — four days of Portuguese and American entertainment across five stages, traditional food (Madeiran Espetada, milho frito, malassadas), a giant carnival, and the Southcoast's largest parade on Sunday. Imported Madeira wine available.
