 A taste of the world, in your back yard

Founded in 1960, International Village in McKeesport, Pa., is a three-day celebration of shared traditions and heritage, including food, music and dancing.

The city of McKeesport’s annual ethnic heritage festival, International Village features food, music and dance representing nationalities around the world. The festival takes place every August. 

Each year, you’ll find more than a dozen booths selling freshly-made ethnic foods from around the world, continuous live entertainment, live music for dancing, crafts, community information and games.

International Village is entirely run by volunteers, including many of the ethnic churches, temples, and social organizations in the McKeesport region. It annually draws more than 20,000 people to McKeesport's historic Renziehausen Park.
