Billed as the “summer’s hottest party,” the Circus Saints and Sinners are hosting the first annual Party on the Plaza music and food festival at the Plaza on Market in downtown Wheeling on July 10th from 4 pm-10 pm.
According to event chairman Paul Smith, organizers plan a full day of live music, a selection of local food vendors, and adult beverages, with proceeds benefitting the construction of the brand-new 150-bed WVU Medicine Children’s Hospital in Morgantown.
“We will have continuous live music, including Pittsburgh’s top party band, Jukebox, great local food trucks, and plenty of ice-cold drinks,” Smith said. “And we’re doing it for the women and children of our region, and throughout West Virginia, by supporting the vital mission of WVU Medicine Children’s.”
Smith said the event has garnered a tremendous amount of support from the public and the local business community.
“The response has been overwhelming,” said Smith. “I think people are definitely ready to live free again and enjoy a summer festival with their friends and family. Tickets are selling fast and the sheer number of businesses and organizations that have partnered with us as sponsors has been incredible.”
The event is presented by Panhandle Cleaning and Restoration, with gold-level support from Broadwater Properties, Bordas and Bordas, Lowe’s, and Edward Jones Investments.
Silver sponsors include Gumby’s, Main Street Bank, Williams Lea, WesBanco, and Whiteside of St. Clairsville.
