Giglio Festival/Our Lady of Mount Carmel

[Ovation32]

Does anyone know which family runs this thing/controls these parts of BK (mostly North Williamsburg)?

Thanks in advance

You sure you're not talking about the East Harlem festival run by Giglio?

Giglio (lilies) is the statue they lift at the feast. In Williamsburg in July (st paul) and then East Harlem in August (st anthony)

No. I'm speaking about the Giglio Society who organizes, not the Giglio, which is the tower.

Grew up in Williamsburg and remember the festival and my good friend. I wonder how it is these days.
