Monday is Labor Day, a holiday that holds many meanings, including recognition for workers and the end of summer. In Clarksburg, Labor Day means one thing: Italian Heritage. For over 40 years, the Italian Heritage Festival has taken over the downtown of Clarksburg, WV.

Starting on the Friday before Labor Day, and running through Sunday, visitors can enjoy the music, dancing and food of the Old Country. From Italian street food to a photo contest and traditional Italian dancing, there’s something for everyone. “People dance in the streets, and they have a great time,” said Italian Heritage Festival board member Weege Vargo.
