Portuguese festival of culture

LUDLOW, Mass. - Once a year Ludlow becomes a mecca for thousands of Portugese-Americans from all over New England.

Sunday was the day of the Our Lady of Fatima Festa on the grounds of Ludlow's Our Lady of Fatima Church. Hundreds of visitors come every year to enjoy Portuguese food, music, and the opportunity to worship during their candlelight procession after dark.

Visitors who come from as far away as Providence, will take part in the candlelight procession through the streets of Ludlow, a centuries old tradition that has been practiced by Lady of Fatima church in for more than 60 years as part of the celebration of portuguese culture, language and traditions.
