The Italian Festival In Oklahoma That Serves 1700 Pounds of Meatballs and Sausage
The McAlester Italian Festival has been an annual event since 1971, celebrating the living heritage of the many Italian families of the McAlester area with tasty Italian food, live entertainment, crafts, vendors, and more. This two-day festival is one of the largest in the state and is not only filled with a variety of fun, but they also serve an absurd amount of meatballs and sausage – and it’s the best thing ever.
Each year, the McAlester Italian Festival ushers in the summer festival season here in Oklahoma.
One of the funniest events during the event is the spaghetti eating contest. Bring your cameras because you'll want to capture these priceless moments.
