Whether they are seeking pasta, sausage, meatballs, wine, a bocce game, hours of free entertainment, a petting zoo or pony rides, visitors will find all this and much more at the 35th annual Upper Ohio Valley Italian Heritage Festival, which begins at noon Friday at Heritage Port.
Former Ohio State Sen. Lou Gentile knows how much patrons enjoy the three-day festival, but hopes those in attendance recognize that its primary goals are to promote education and a sense of community. Gentile will be honored as the 2017 Italian-American of the Year during the festival’s annual kickoff dinner, set for 6 p.m. today at the McLure Hotel in Wheeling.
