I became a member of the East Harlem Giglio Society a few years back and love it! If you are looking for a great time with great food and great people with an old school environment then this is the place for you. Each year I have noticed the Italian Feast in New York City (NYC) gets bigger and bigger. The Society also has other events that they participate in throughout the year as well. If you are looking for a great comradery among other people who have the same values then the East Harlem Giglio Society is the group for you!

Great place to be and a very friendly environment……little cigar factory guy has the freshest cigars around

It is Parr of my Italian heritage and culture . So much fun and love shared by all . A spectacular culteral event that will leave you in awe and admiration through out the entire year . On Sunday , August 14 a group of Italian men and women will lift and dance a Gothic 72′ , 2.50 ton Gothic structure complete with Giglio band in honor of our patron St . Anthony of Padua .

Great festival. It was heartwarming to see such connections among the people. The carrying and lifting of the Giglio was phenomenal and especially nice seeing the people coming together to lift and dance the Giglio. The music was festive and the food was excellent I enjoyed my first Giglio Festival in East Harlem.

Love the feast lifted many years when my father in law ran the feast.Who just passed away God bless him and watch over him. Angelo Prisco.

Delicious food. Fun rides and games

Great time with great friends.

Great people following a great tradition.

Awesome event to experience while visiting N.Y.
