Undo’s Upper Ohio Valley Italian Heritage Festival says ‘ciao’ to the Ohio Valley

WHEELING, W.Va (WTRF) — After three days filled with great Italian food, music, and festivities, the Undo’s Upper Ohio Valley Italian Heritage Festival comes to a close today.

Festival chairman Tony Filberto says it’s been a wonderful time for everyone involved, and he’s happy to see the festival so lively and crowded.

Whether you took part in a ceremony, mass, or family dinner – fun was had by all.

“It’s our favorite thing to go to during the summer and it’s different each day. At night it’s a little bit – more people, younger people at night – and then during the day it’s a little less crowded but at the same time the food’s fantastic, plus good music.”

“We hope everybody’s had a great festival and I hope they’ve enjoyed it as much as we have as the festival committee, and everyone’s looking forward to coming back next year.”
