This is a big coup for the new Studio — and it’ll be your last chance to see Henri Smith anywhere around here without buying a ticket for quite some time.
Joining Henri will be many of the guys who were on stage with him at The Larcom Theatre in March, including Grammy-Award winning Amadee Castenell on sax and a big surprise!
Don’t expect there to be any tables left on Saturday, so you’d better call (978) 879-4896 to make a reservation. Do it now!
Henri will be back at the Larcom Theatre in December for a very special Christmas show. If you’ve signed up for our free Concert Club, you’ll be able to get tickets before they go on sale to the public (click here if you haven’t signed up). More details on this concert coming in a few days . . .
Here’s a taste of what you can expect this Saturday — check out Amadee’s sax and flute solos!

Bailing Out The Seine Boats and Practice In The Pouring Rain
Sista Felicia covers this morning down at Saint Peter’s Park-

The Pageantry, The Tradition- Sista Felicia has been doing a fantastic job
bringing this year’s Fiesta to those of you who couldn’t make it.
Props to her and props to all the families who put in so much energy to making it the best time of the year in our City.
Fiesta wouldn’t be complete without A Zizzta Sandwich from Ambie’s!
If you don’t get an Ambie’s Sausage, it really doesn’t martter if you’ve gone to all 9 novenas, watched every seine boat race and greasy pole. You may as well tell people you didn’t even really go to Fiesta if you didn’t get your Ambie’s Italian Zizzitza Sangie!
Ambie’s first batch of Sausage will be hitting the grill at 9:00 and will be ready in time for todays lunch! Stop by and get yours!
You wanna talk history? You wanna talk about passion? Listen as the Tommy and Peter Favazza talk about the years of dedication they have given as makers of the Greasy Pole Flags and Fiesta Committee members. This is what it’s all about: the complete giving of time and energy so everyone gets to enjoy the pageantry and tradition kept alive by families like the Favazzas.
Click the picture then you will be brought to UStream where they ask you to watch a short 30 second ad and then the live feed will play for you!
thanks To James From Cape Ann Giclee For The Help Getting The Feed Streaming
Sista Felicia comes through again with Seine Boat Practice Photos and Photos of The New Murals on The St Peter’s Altar
Huge thanks to the Linquata family for allowing us into their home and sharing their story of family, love and tradition. It is families like this that make it all so special for all of us to enjoy. So many stories, so much love, so much passion, and who wins? Everyone in our close knit community. The people who think the Fiesta is about the carnival and the rides are missing out. They have no idea how much work goes in behind the scenes by beautiful families like the Linquatas. Thanks for all you do to make it the most special time of year for so many.
Your labor of love and dedication will not go unnoticed if we have anything to say about it.
Look for tomorrow’s video with the Favazzas who make the Greasy Pole Flags. GMG behind the scenes for Saint Peter’s Fiesta 2014.

Mike Lindberg’s Classic Here (I don’t know why but I tear up every time I watch this)-
Hi, I’m a big fan of your blog and I thought you might be interested in possibly sharing this short 8mm film that my husband made about St. Peter’s Fiesta with your readers.
I’m a native of the North Shore (my family is from Gloucester) but my husband, Matthew, is from New Hampshire. I brought him to the fiesta and to Gloucester for the first time around 2007 and he instantly fell in love with both. We go to the fiesta every year now and visit Gloucester as often as possible.
He shot the footage for this video at the 2010 and 2011 St. Peter’s Fiesta. He also composed and performed the music (he played guitar and his friend played the violin part). Here’s a link to the video on youtube:
Hope you like it! Thanks for your time!
