JUNE 25 and
26 DATES FOR THIS YEAR'S SACRED HEART FESTIVAL
What: Our fourth annual fundraising initiative to support
year-round, non-religious youth programming at Sacred Heart Parish
in East Boston, Sacred Heart Festival is A 2-day street festival,
comparable to those seen in the North End, with a bit more of a
family-oriented focus.
When: Friday June 25 and Saturday June 26, 2010 from 5:00 to 11:00
Where: 303 Paris Street East Boston, on the grounds of Sacred Heart
Parish, and adjacent streets.
Mission: To host a quality, cultural and entertaining family
oriented event that showcases the best East Boston has to offer
while raising funds for the year-round, nonreligious youth
programming at Sacred Heart Parish.
Details: Features include street vendors pedaling food and wares as
well as games, inflatables and pony rides for the kids. Additional
activities are reminiscient of old –fashioned church picnics
including watermelon and pie eating contests, an opportunity to toss
a pie at some of our prominent local officials as well as our very
own Fr. Wayne Belchner , pastor of Sacred Heart Parish. The festival
centerpieces are East Boston’s largest 50/50 raffle – with the
potential to win up to $5,000 and a the activities that take place
on the main stage – including performances by local favorites and
well known national musical legends.
Past performers include, Evelyn Champagne King,
Harold Melvin’s Blue Notes, friend to the festival and Grammy winner
– Tiny Tavares. This year’s headlining performance is being kept
under wraps for now, as we are tying off for now as we finishing
dotting our I’s and crossing our T’s on the contract, although just
as exciting and in keeping with our prior year’s entertainment bar
we have set. A hint – hits include “You Make Me Feel Brand New” and
“Betcha By Golly Wow”.
