100th Annual Italian Feast of Saints Cosmas & Damian

There will be food vendors, amusement rides, carnival games, parades, healing service, outdoor mass, processions, activities for children, special guests, our beer and wine garden, as well as national recording artists and local bands as part of our entertainment schedule. We will be announcing our musical acts shortly. Every year, thousands from near and far join us for the Feast. This three-day celebration is filled with excitement for all. It is a time for family, friends, neighbors, and the community to come together and appreciate the traditions of Italy, as well as pay homage to the miraculous Saints Cosmas and Damian, "The Healing Saints". Warren and Porter Streets (Gaeta Square) of East Cambridge are closed and decorated with illuminations, banners, and flags. The bandstand and the ornate (the temporary chapel which houses the Saints for the weekend) are erected at one end of the festival. A carnival is erected at the other end of the festival. The street is filled with vendors of all sorts, and the aroma of sizzling Italian sausage fills the air. 2025 Schedule 100th Anniversary Schedule of Events Thursday, September 4, 2025<ul><li>6 PM Feast opens with rides, games, pizza, fried dough, Italian sausage, peppers, zeppole, wine &amp; beer garden, and more.&nbsp;</li><li>6:30 PM Procession with Saints Cosmas and Damian begins at the Chapel at 17 Porter Street.</li><li>7 PM Feast Blessing and Healing Service with Holy Oils and the relics of Saints Cosmas and Damian.</li><li>7:15 PM Entertainment to be announced!</li></ul>Friday, September 5, 2025<ul><li>6 PM Feast opens with rides, games, pizza, fried dough, Italian sausage, peppers, zeppole, wine &amp; beer garden, and more.</li><li>6:30 PM Procession with Saints Cosmas and Damian begins at the Chapel at 17 Porter Street.</li><li>7:15 PM Local entertainment to be announced!</li><li>9 PM Headliner entertainment to be announced!</li></ul>Saturday, September 6, 2025<ul><li>1:00 PM–11:00 PM Feast open</li><li>2:00 PM–5:00 PM “Sounds of Sinatra” with Dom Catino</li><li>5:00 PM–8:00 PM Dancing with Trifecta</li><li>6:30 PM Procession from the Chapel at 17 Porter St. with North End Marching Band &amp; Everett High School Marching Band</li><li>8:00 PM–11:00 PM (Warren Street Stage): SeaBreeze and Stephen Savio</li><li>8:00 PM (Cambridge Street Stage): All-4-One</li><li>9:00 PM (Cambridge Street Stage): Joey McIntyre of New Kids on the Block</li></ul>Sunday, September 7, 2025<ul><li>10:30 AM Outdoor Annual Feast Mass (Warren Street Stage)</li><li>1:00 PM–10:00 PM Feast open</li><li>1:30 PM Grand Procession through East Cambridge &amp; East Somerville</li><li>2:00 PM–5:00 PM Gian Faraone</li><li>5:00 PM–10:00 PM Smokin’ Joe &amp; The Henchmen</li><li>7:00 PM Saints return for confetti celebration</li><li>7:45 PM The Platters, The Drifters, The Coasters</li><li>10:00 PM Saints returned to the chapel</li></ul>Saturday, September 27, 2025<ul><li>Time TBA Annual neighborhood thank-you bbq in honor of the Feast day of Saints Cosmas and Damian.</li></ul>Parking Notice: Free parking is available only during Feast hours at the following locations:​<ul><li>Twin City Plaza (only park in posted areas, don't park too close to the train tracks, park to the left of the Twin City Plaza sign)</li><li>Target Plaza on Somerville Ave in Somerville (short walk up the street on the Gore/Medford Street side of Warren Street)</li><li>On the street</li></ul>
