A number of community agencies, including the Village of Wheeling, the Korean Cultural Center of Chicago, the Wheeling/Prospect Heights Area Chamber of Commerce, and the Wheeling Park District, are partnering to introduce a new communitywide food festival, “Wheeling International Fest 2012.”

The festival is scheduled to take place from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday, June 23 at the campus of the Korean Cultural Center, 9930 S. Capital Drive, Wheeling.

The event is designed to showcase the wide range of shopping and dining opportunities in Wheeling, as well as the international cultural experiences available in the community. Organizers hope to make it an annual summer event.

“A big part of what makes Wheeling great is its diversity of cultures and their willingness to come together and share their traditions — especially their favorite foods,” Village President Judy Abruscato said.

Organizers are still looking for more vendors for the event. Contact Ilyse Strongin-Bombicino at (847) 432-6000 with inquiries.
