Day 4 of the Feast of the Feast of the Blessed Sacrament features a parade right down Acushnet Avenue to the official Feast grounds just #offtheave.

For over 100 years, the City of New Bedford has hosted the Feast of the Blessed Sacrament – and it has become the largest Portuguese festival in the world.

It is also a cherished North End neighborhood event and beloved city tradition which causes people from all over to meet #ontheave – and then #LoveTheAve.

We hope you’ve enjoyed this special photo series by Josh Souza for the New Bedford Economic Development Council. The Love The Ave and North End team look forward to sharing much more with you in 2019 as we all Love The Ave into the future!
