Wednesday night saw people of all ages come out to celebrate the night lifting ceremony of the Giglio as part of the ongoing annual Giglio Feast celebration.

The Giglio, weighing in at around two tons and standing over seven stories tall, travels through the streets of Williamsburg being carried by well over 100 residents.

The festival made its way to Brooklyn from Italy nearly 220 years ago, and it celebrates Italian culture, traditions and saints like Our Lady of Mt. Carmel.

Giglio Feast will continue through Sunday, with events happening daily.
