New Bedford Portuguese Feast & Blessed Sacrament 2018
The New Bedford Feast of the Blessed Sacrament, also known as . the Portuguese Feast is the largest event the city has every year. More than that, it is the largest Portuguese feast in the world and the largest ethnic festival in New England. The feast was founded in 1915 by four Madeiran immigrants who wanted to recreate the festivities of their home island. The feast is a four-day event, officially kicking off at 6:00 PM on Thursday, August 2nd . The grounds close at 12 midnight each night. 
Located in the heart of New Bedford’s north end, the Feast is a magnificent celebration of Portuguese/American culture featuring international and regional food and refreshments, live music and entertainment, carnival rides and the city’s largest parade. Free admission all four days including admission to the Museum of Madeiran Heritage where visitors can experience the full story of Madeiran immigration to the United States.
