Italian Festival -
The Italian Festival of McAlester, Oklahoma (USA), has been one of the
finest annual events in Oklahoma since its inception in 1971. Held on
Saturday and Sunday on the middle of May Weekend, the Festival draws
thousands of visitors to the fairgrounds of the Pittsburg County Expo Center
for the two-day event. Join the many thousands who enjoy delicious
Italian Food in the Food Tent and the Sandwich Tent, a variety of other
foods from dozens of concessionaires, live entertainment for all ages, shopping
among the hundreds of vendors, craft show booths and fine arts booths.
Don't miss the most exciting weekend of Spring in the rolling hills of beautiful
southeastern Oklahoma - only a pleasant May drive from Tulsa or Oklahoma City
in Oklahoma, Fort Smith or Little Rock in Arkansas, Dallas or Fort Worth in Texas!
Come join the fun as we celebrate and honour the living heritage of the many
Italian families of the McAlester area in the heartland of America
you'll be glad you did!
The Festival takes place each year at the county fairgrounds - the
Pittsburg County Regional Exposition Center, which is located on the
south side of U.S. 270 highway, about 4 miles west of McAlester. The
entire complex of buildings and structures (and tents during the Festival!)
is easily visible from the highway. The McAlester exit from Indian Nations
Turnpike is less than a mile west of the fairgrounds. Sat 9am-7pm, Sun 10am-4pm.
