Warm Sunshine...Light Breeze...Laughter fills the air... These are all signs that the 26th Annual Virginia Wine and Craft Festival is just around the corner. Join us on Saturday, May 19, from 10am – 6pm in historic downtown Front Royal, VA for shopping, live music, kids games and of course, wine tasting. The festival gates open on Saturday at 10am with activities and musical entertainment all day until 6 p.m. Come and enjoy tastings from 20 Virginia wineries. Covering more than 7 seven blocks and featuring over 100 vendors, artists and crafters from all over the east coast, there won’t be anything you can’t find to fit your style, mood or need. Fine handmade jewelry, hand painted wine glasses, hand crafted musical instruments, pottery and ceramics, clothing, original paintings and artwork, antiques, the list goes on. Not to be outdone by the wineries and crafters, the food vendors are coming out in full force. With over a dozen to choose from, deciding whether to have funnel cakes, fresh roasted nuts, crabcake sandwiches, steak-n-cheese, shish kabobs, or just burgers and dogs may take you the whole day. Several restaurants will also be open during the festival in case you prefer to sit and rest a bit while you eat. Saturday admission is $20 in advance or $25 at the gate for those who wish to wine taste. General admission is just $2.00 and children 6/under are free.
