Another great event coming up downtown this week! Citizens please be cautious of pedestrians always, but especially during the event! 🚗🚶

Wine Walk & Play is in 3 DAYS! 🎉

Last year we welcomed over 250+ people to the event bringing together residents and visitors for an evening of local experiences, music, games, snacks and of course, a little bit of shopping.

Purchase your souvenir Wine glass or Water bottle at one of the start/ stop locations and get to know our local businesses downtown!

See map below for all the FUN places to mingle. Bring a friend or a few and make an evening of it! See you soon 🎉
