ABOUT THE ASSOCIATION
Building the Giglio
The Giglio is a large, intricately decorated structure made of wood and/or metal and adorned with elaborate floral arrangements. The Giglio structure is typically 70 feet tall and weighs close to 3 tons, the band and equipment add another 3000 pounds and is carried by 120 men.
Lifting the Giglio
The Giglio Lift or “Dance of the Giglio” is the ceremonial process of lifting and carrying the structure through the festival. It’s a significant cultural tradition that involves teamwork, strength, and devotion, highlighting the importance of communal participation in the celebration.
