Unfortunately for many New England communities, “Old Man Winter” crashed the Halloween festivities, leaving millions without power and parents having to cancel trick or treating this year.  But not the North End.  Despite Jack Frost’s early visit, the North End community continued with the 2011 Halloween Parade, sponsored by the Madonna Della Cava Society and City of Boston Special Events, and strolled through the waterfront neighborhood streets with the Saint Alfio’s and NorthEast Italian Band leading the way and families of little ghouls and gals trailing behind.  The band trumpeted such classics as Mickey Mouse, When the Saints Come Marching in, and more!  The North End and Waterfront fun continued with inflatable bouncing entertainment, DJ music and family activities.

Equestrian Statue of Paul Revere in the Prado with the North Church in the Background

NEWRA Parks and Recreation Committee plans to restore the Prado

Prado has become the new center of attention for the North End/Waterfront Residents’ Association’s Parks and Recreations Committee. A NEWRA monthly meeting was recently held this week at the Nazzaro Center and the committee expressed the Prado being in poor condition with crumbling brick, unkempt trees and weathered granite features.

The committee hopes to raise awareness to the historical site in the North End during the 150th birthday of sculptor Cyrus E. Dallin who created the Equestrian Statue of Paul Revere that resides in the Prado.

Even though Cyrus E. Dallin’s birthday is on November 22, the committee plans to throw the event in April 2012 in conjunction with the Cyrus E. Dallin Art Museum in Arlington, Massachusetts.

Fisherman’s Feast in the North End this Weekend

Crowd enjoying the Fisherman's Feast in Boston's North End. Oldest Italian Festival in Boston.

Boston’s oldest annual Italian festival is back.  This weekend, the Fisherman’s Feast will once again commemorate the age-old tradition of honoring Madonna del Soccorso.

Much like it has been for the last 100 years, the North End streets will be decorated in lights, lined with vendors, and filled with children playing games and people enjoying wonderful Italian food.

Held in the North End’s historic neighborhood on North and fleet streets, the Feast typically starts on a Thursday when the statue of the Madonna is paraded from her home in the Fisherman’s Club to a chapel at the center of the festival.

Also performed on Thursday is a memorial service on the Waterfront to bless the fishing waters and honor the fishermen who founded the tradition.

It is a wonderful event to behold.  This weekend there will be plenty of entertainment, food (Italian sausages, calamari, pizza, pasta and more!) along with arts and crafts.

The Feast finishes on Sunday night with the grand finale performance of the “Flight of the Angel.”  It certainly is a magical time in the North End that you will not want to miss.

On July 27, the Saint Joseph Society, a charitable organization based in Boston’s North End, put on the Historic Unity Celebration.  This event was intended to pay homage to the cultures and traditions of the many ethnic groups that have immigrated through Boston’s North End and are now such a strong part of the Boston community.

Although Boston’s largest present-day Chinese population resides in Chinatown, many Chinese entered Boston via the North End. The program featured multiple Chinese dance and musical performances, including a guest dance appearance by one of Shanghai’s most acclaimed dancers!  See more here: http://www.northendwaterfront.com/home/2011/8/3/chinese-music-and-dance-at-the-historic-unity-celebration-in.html

The Stanley Cup once again was raised high over the Boston Waterfront neighborhood with the Boston Bruins and friends. But the celebration didn’t stop here.  The Cup was also paraded through the city on Saturday, starting from the Garden in the North End and through a sea of ‘black & yellow’ all the way to Copley Plaza.  But while it was here on the Waterfront at the Union Wharf luxury buildings, NorthEndWaterfront.com captured these great photos.

The fair winds and high seas have carried a boat, a very big boat, to our docks this week at Yacht Haven, Commercial Wharf.  In fact, it is the largest private yacht on Earth, called Eos, that found port here on the North End Waterfront.  Named after the Greek titan goddess of the dawn, this three masted rigged schooner at 305 feet long with 200-foot masts is a magnificent sight to behold.

The vessel was once owned by now CEO of IAC/Interactive and creator of Fox and USA Broadcasting, Barry Diller, but today’s owner is unknown.  It hit the  seas in 2006, has a crew 21-man crew and valued at more than $150 million.

The ship has visited a number of ports along the North Atlantic coast this summer at such locations as Nantucket, Provincetown, and Martha’s Vineyard, to name a few.  For more pictures and info about the Eos, visit MarineTraffic.com.
