The lifter is responsible for carrying and supporting the “Giglio” (a towering, ornate structure) on their shoulders throughout the parade.
This role is both physically demanding and symbolically significant, as it requires immense strength, balance, and coordination.
The lifters are central to the procession’s success, embodying the spirit of community and devotion that defines the festival.
Their efforts help preserve and celebrate this important cultural and religious tradition.
To sign-up and be a lifter during the the Massapequa Association Giglio Feast fill out the form below and we will be in touch with you shortly.
Complimentary Shirt, “Cornetto” (breakfast pastry) is provided before the lift, and complimentary food after the lift for all lifters.
