Feast of the Assumption in Cleveland’s Little Italy at University Circle on Murray Hill is a major annual event celebrated for over 100 years in this historic neighborhood of Cleveland.  Whether you’re Italian or not, this festival is popular with everyone. There is a traditional religious procession through the ethnic neighborhood streets following a mass at the church. Crowds are enormous as it seems all of northeast Ohio ascends on this little Italian-American community making it “Big Italy” if only for a few days. There is plenty of music, dancing, artwork, rides, and yes, great food. The area definitely is filled with an “old-world” atmosphere. The four-day celebration draws crowds of more than 100,000 annually. How can that many people be wrong? This is the place to see if you’re looking for old-world charm, culinary delight, and beautiful cityscape.
