Join us for the 40th annual Warren Italian-American Heritage festival will be held in downtown Warren, Ohio. This event has grown to be one of the finest celebrations of Italian culture and heritage in the tri-state area. With these festival activities, we not only hope to preserve the memories and traditions of our families, but also to build a tradition for our young generation. The Warren Italian-American Heritage Festival began in 1985 with a concept of founder Lou Metter.
