The first event, the feast of Corpus Christi (the body of Christ) occurs at St Joseph Polish Church at 46th and Pearl on Sunday, June 7, after 10:30 am Mass. Four altars are decorated throughout Globeville and parishioners form a procession under a canopy, praying, singing, and scattering rose petals at each site. The first Altar will be decorated by the English-speaking congregation, and the rest by the Polish-speaking members of the parish. This tradition is observed in Europe and also in Mexico.

Such fests are really amazing and a great way to have fun and improve your social circle. Last week I have been to nearby event locations at my place and saw many small similar events going on there. It was fun being there.
Great food and a chance to experience different cultures - can't beat 'em.
