Undo’s 40th Annual Italian Heritage Festival: A Fun-Filled Family Event

WHEELING, W.Va (WTRF) – The Undo’s 40th Annual Italian Heritage Festival, held in Wheeling, West Virginia, delighted families on its second day with a wide range of activities and attractions celebrating Italian culture. From a dunk tank to inflatables and mouthwatering food, there was something for everyone to enjoy.

Discover Italian Card Games

An exciting addition to this year’s festival is a table where visitors can learn Italian card games. This offers a unique opportunity to delve into the rich gaming traditions of Italy while having a wonderful time with friends and family.

Multiple Stages for Diverse Entertainment

The festival boasts two stages where a variety of bands and acts captivated audiences throughout the three-day event. The Italian Stage, situated near WesBanco Arena, showcased enchanting Italian performances, while the main stage featured a diverse range of talented artists.

“If you haven’t been to the festival in a while, I really think you should give it another chance because we are really highlighting the culture this year. There are a lot of games you can learn. We have bocce ball, we have the Italian card games, we have a lot more Italian food vendors this year. There’s pretty much anything for people to do. If you have kids, there’s inflatables. There’s plenty of games and all the little knickknacks the kids love here. So, it’s really for anyone, the Italian Fest this year.”
