The Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Italian Festival has been a neighborhood tradition for the Detroit Shoreway neighborhood for 82 years. For those who are not familiar with this summer event it can be summed up in one word, humble. It’s a place where clergy, parishioners, carnies, and partygoers, all have the shared experience of modest living. A community whose sole aim for the weekend is to offer carnival comforts to all who attend. For the uninitiated it can be an awkward yet eye opening experience. People of all races join together in relative harmony for gaming, carnival rides, and Italian cuisine. This festival is a mystical trinity of entertainment that frees us from that all that is savage.To see the video in full Flexi-Color please visit our video corner.
