Please mark your calendar and join the City of Welch in the second weekend of September for the first Coalfields Heritage Festival—an event to remember the coal miner and his family, the sacrifices they faced, the legacy they carried, and the pride of growing up in the southern coalfields of WV.
The Coalfield Heritage Festival will be a special four-day festival held on the historic streets of Welch. Special education day tied to the Battle of Blair Mountain Centennial, with storytellers, living historians, musicians, vendors, a carnival, special performances by the Terror on the Tug, and more.
