| Details: | The annual Italian Festival in McAlester has been a beloved Oklahoma tradition since its inception. Held on Friday and Saturday, the festival draws thousands to the Southeast Expo Center for this two-day event. Join festival-goers to enjoy delicious Italian food, live entertainment for all ages and shopping among the hundreds of vendors, craft show booths and fine art booths.
First held in 1971 and created by Pete's Place owner Bill Prichard, this festival was created to honor the Italian heritage in this area of Oklahoma. During its first four years, the festival was held around Columbus Day in McAlester's Chadick Park. Food was prepared in the homes of the area residents and brought to the site for the one-day festival. In 1975, the festival became a two-day affair. |
