This year's masterpiece

My friends and I made a detour to Williamsburg, Brooklyn today for a sneak peek at this year's giglio. We heard so many rumors about how beautiful the tower is we had to see it for ourselves. Erected on Saturday, it certainly lived up to the hype. It truly is one of the "best ever" built in Brooklyn that I've ever seen. We would like to thank the Giglio Committee for all their hard work and dedication. It is people like them that keep our cherished folk traditions alive.
The 126th Annual Feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel and San Paolino di Nola starts tomorrow. There will be plenty of food, live entertainment and rides.
