“It’s A Wonderful Life” Festival Gone For Another Year

(WPXI) –  A holiday festival in Indiana celebrated a hometown hero.  The “It’s a Wonderful Life Festival” kicked off in November and concluded on Saturday.  Famed actor Jimmy Stewart, who played George Bailey in the 1946 Frank Capra film “It’s a Wonderful Life,” was born and raised in Indiana. The borough is now home to the Jimmy Stewart Museum.  Presented by First Commonwealth Bank, the festival featured a more than 30-foot-tall Christmas tree in IRMC Park and a holiday parade presented by the Lucy Donnelly Memorial Fund.  Although the festival has wrapped up, you can watch “It’s a Wonderful Life” on Channel 11 at 8 p.m. on Christmas Eve.
