Festival of the Vine is coming
On Sept. 9-11, Festival of the Vine returns, but it’s in a new location. All the flavors, fun and food you look forward to will now be on James and South Fourth streets expanding to Fifth Street. Safety is always top of mind when planning festivals and crossing State Street during the festival has become unsafe over the years.
