An annual tradition since 1988!

The morning will start with the Miners Run — a 3.61-mile out-and back course. The race is in memory of the 361 coal miners killed in the 1907 Monongah mine disaster.
The festival will open with the parade starting at noon, which begins an activity-filled day.
Some of the fun will be Lil’ Miss Contest and the Most Photogenic Baby Contest. There will be plenty of food vendors. Entertainment will include Jenna Won’t Sing and Thistle & Tweet, followed by The Gamblers Band.
Make sure to sign up for the corn hole tournament and craft show plus the tug of war.

Coal Miners Day
It’s not about Christmas, but it is about the Italian American coal mining heritage and the history that lives in these Appalachian hills. This day focuses on a swap meet, where coal miners, history lovers and others can sell, buy and trade memorabilia and books. It’s a great way to share history with one another.
Hosted on or near Dec. 6, it remembers the Italian and miners who died in the Monongah Mine Disaster in 1907. Learn more about that fateful day. While you’re here for the holidays, take a trip out to Monongah to see the memorials: the Monongah Memorial, the Monongah Mine Memorial Bell, gifted from the Italian region of Molise, and the Monongah Heroine, a statue dedicated to the miners’ widows.
