This year’s event has everything that
you have loved in years past with a few
new additions to make it even more fun!
Mainstreet and local businesses welcome
11 Indiana Wineries to our historic

of a free concert to “wine down”

throughout downtown and visit local
businesses that are hosting local wineries.
You will have an evening full of wine,
music and food as you Sip, Stroll, and
Shop your way through the evening. The
Wine Walk will run from 5:30 – 9:30
