(440)

Street parking, Parking garage (222 Hewes Avenue), Jackson Square(321 W Pike Street) It was born out of love and pride in the cultural heritage of Italian-Americans in West Virginia, gave life to the idea of a Festival in Clarksburg to honor the past, celebrate the present, and preserve rich traditions for future generations. During the first West Virginia Italian Heritage Festival in 1979, the wi

ne flowed with tantalizing arrays of delectable food abound and the music was fast-paced. The color, pageantry, entertainment, events, contests, exhibitions, and displays packed the streets of Clarksburg -- the Festival was an instant success. With each successive year, the little Festival has grown and has brought thousands of visitors into historic Clarksburg. Visitors from all over line the streets and admire the beautiful architecture of years past, listen to family-favorite tunes, and honor those who have paved our bright future. The Festival takes pride in bringing FREE headline entertainment including award-winning artists to hometown musicians and dance groups. Local, statewide, and national vendors provide authentic cuisine, Italian-American merchandise, beverages, and sweets! It is always a great time to reunite with old friends as well as meeting new family from around the world! Exciting annual traditions include Pasta Cook-Off leading into Festival week, Thursday evening Honorees Award Ceremony, Friday morning Coronation of Regina Maria and recognition of the Royal Court, Saturday morning Grand Feature Parade, and Sunday morning Outdoor Mass. Each evening closes with invigorating performances by AMICI with dancing in the street. Please join us and help to celebrate our annual Celebration! This year promises to carry on its tradition of being one of the state's most spectacular and colorful events!

๐ŸŽ‰ Congratulations to our 2026 Poster Contest Winner, Bailey Rose McDonald! ๐ŸŽ‰

Bailey created a beautiful mixed media piece that highlights her familyโ€™s history. It features the storefront of the Blue Bird Store when it was located on Third Street in downtown Clarksburg and was run by her great-great uncle Frank X. Lopez and his wife, Rose. She thoughtfully combined this with scenes from Italy and Clarksburg, WV.

Bailey Rose is a 10 year old from Bridgeport and is so excited to receive this honor. We are proud to celebrate her creativity and hard work!

The poster contest and printing were generously sponsored by Hanlanโ€™s Meat Market. ๐Ÿ‘
