Portuguese Feast Returns with New Age Rule | Providence News

The Feast of the Blessed Sacrament returns to New Bedford this weekend for its 110th year — the world’s largest Portuguese celebration — with food, wine, music, and culture drawing tens of thousands. A new twist? You must be 21+ to enter after 8 p.m., a safety move that won’t dampen the family-friendly vibe during the day. The parade on Sunday afternoon, featuring 40+ groups marching a mile, is the highlight. Expect packed stages, great weather (mostly sunny Fri-Sat, highs near 85), and parking on the street or off Bellevue Ave. It’s heritage, community, and tradition — with a smart, safety-first update.
