$Lynn\u2019s Portugal Day Flag Raising Celebration$

Lynn’s Portugal Day Celebration will take place on Tuesday, June 9th at 5:00 PM at Lynn City Hall. This is our second year hosting the event, and our theme will focus on the immigrant experience and the importance of tradition, putting a human face to immigration and highlighting the stories, resilience, and cultural contributions of our Portuguese community.
The evening will begin with a flag raising ceremony, followed by light refreshments. Afterward, attendees will be invited to the Lynn Auditorium for a special free screening of the award winning short documentary Malassada Day by Portuguese director Dante Bellini Jr. The film is approximately 18 minutes long and centers on a dedicated group of women from both the Azores and mainland Portugal who have spent decades making malassadas for the semi annual feasts at Our Lady of the Rosary. As many of these women are aging, facing illness, or have passed on, the documentary beautifully captures both tradition and legacy.
