Wheeling Italian Heritage Festival


Heritage Port

This year’s festival focuses on food, fun, & family. Beside Italian foods of homemade sausage & meatballs, wood- fired pizza and many more Italian dishes there will also be foods from other cultures. Entertainment will be ongoing throughout the festival on the Main Stage and the Little Italy Stage. Also, inflatables and games for the kids are BACK!!!

The mission of our Festival is to provide scholarships to local area students and to continue and share our Italian culture. This year they provided $18,000 in scholarships. Recipients were two students from each of the six counties represented by the board: Belmont & Jefferson in Ohio, and Brooke, Hancock, Marshall, and Ohio in West Virginia.
