Giglio Sunday, usually the first Sunday after the 4th of July, is one of the most anticipated days on the calendar for anyone in or around the Williamsburg area. Dating back to the late 1800’s, the festivities are packed with religion, friendship, games and most famously…the food! For 12 days, the area around Our Lady of Mount Carmel (275 North 8th Street) are packed with people of all ages, both old world and new age, coming together to celebrate the age old tradition. If you are in the Williamsburg area, it is highly suggested that you stop by and see for yourself. A schedule of the events can be found below:
