The Warren Italian-American Heritage Festival will be back in Courthouse Square in August, but the Wings & Wheels at the Ernie Hall Aviation Museum and SLOAS Airfield will stay grounded for another year.
Italian festival President Carole Ficeti said the board continued to meet via Zoom during the COVID-19 pandemic and went back and forth on whether to have the event Aug. 12-15 on Courthouse Square in downtown Warren.
“Hopefully, hopefully, by summer this virus will be under control,” she said. “Because it takes so long to plan (a decision had to be made early). If anything happens, we can always cancel if we have to.”
