INEVENTS 58TH ANNUAL INTERNATIONAL VILLAGE The 58th Annual International Village was held August 15, 16 and 17 from 3 to 9 p.m. at Renziehausen Park. Founded in 1960, McKeesport’s International Village is a three-day celebration of shared traditions and heritage that includes food, music, dancing, traditional clothing and crafts. It is one of the Pittsburgh area’s oldest and largest ethnic festivals. “I am extremely proud of McKeesport’s 58th Annual International Village, as well as the committee of volunteers who put this first-class event together,” said Mayor Michael Cherepko. “Every year, this event celebrates the diverse heritage of the McKeesport community – Eastern European, Scandinavian, African, Asian and so much more. This year, we had record numbers of McKeesporters, neighbors from across our region and visitors from as far away as California, Florida or Hawaii gather in Renzie Park to enjoy three evenings of international foods, music and dance.” For more information, visit internationalvillage.info/.
