August 31-September 2, 2007
The West Virginia Italian Heritage Festival will celebrate its 29th year, over Labor Day Weekend, August 31, September 1,2, 2007. The WVIHF has been rated among the "Top 100 Events in North America" by the ABA & a "Top 20 Event by the Southeast Tourism Society" for the month of August 2003 & September 2004. The festival offers events, authentic Italian cuisine and "fun and games" for people of all ages. A special "childrens" area and stage has been added over the years that is designed to entertain the smaller children during the entire Festival, from The Rugrats and Happy the Clown to magicians and music.
Top-named entertainers can be found on the main stage during the Festival. Previous years, Festival goers have enjoyed such notables as Tony Danza, Kathy Mattea, Jo Dee Messina, Dion and Fabian - all free of charge to the public.
