The Lehighton Downtown Initiative will be hosting the 𝟳𝙩𝙝 𝘼𝙣𝙣𝙪𝙖𝙡 𝙍𝙚𝙞𝙢𝙖𝙜𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙙 𝙒𝙞𝙣𝙚 𝙤𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙍𝙞𝙫𝙚𝙧 at Baer Memorial Park on Saturday, May 2nd! There will be at least 18 wineries, 2 distilleries, food trucks, crafters and vendors.
Enjoy the day sampling a variety of wines, shopping, listening to live music, food and more. You asked, we listened! You will definitely see some changes that you, our patrons requested! One big change is the layout. Our layout will be totally different for this year as we utilize the field area for the whole event.
All tickets come with a complimentary wine glass sponsored by Home Comfort Solution, for taste testing, and our own custom wine check. Bring your lawn chairs, drink, eat and listen to live music all day long! Hang out at our Hang Out Tent sponsored by PenTele Data, to get out of the sun! Get there early as the Hang Out Tent is first come, first serve! Check out the list of wineries on our Facebook page, Lehighton Downtown Initiative – LDI under the Wine on the River event.
Our live music will consist of two fabulous bands! The Left Edge will perform from 11:00 am – 2:00 pm, then Toolshed Jack will take the stage at 3:00 pm and end the event with some high energy songs! Come out, sing along and dance the afternoon away. Special thanks to Mystic Mountaintop who will be supplying the stage and sound system.
With a variety of food trucks and sweets there will be something for everyone! Shop and visit our vendors in between your tastings. Don’t want to carry your purchases? Not a problem, check them with our unique wine check operation. New this year – A selfie and photo area, complete with backdrop and balloons, donated by our sponsor Air and Asthetics!
