Spring Wine Walk 2026: A Sold-Out Night to Remember
On Thursday, April 9th from 5:00–8:00 PM, Downtown came alive for one of the most exciting evenings of the season—our annual Spring Wine Walk—and what a night it was.
This year’s event completely surpassed expectations. With 24 participating merchants, we exceeded last year’s involvement and created an even more dynamic and engaging experience throughout downtown. Even more exciting, the event sold out entirely, marking a record-breaking year for ticket sales. The buzz started early, with calls pouring in all day from hopeful attendees trying to secure last-minute tickets.
By the time check-in opened, the energy was undeniable. The line wrapped around the building as guests eagerly waited to begin their evening. We kicked things off at House of JuJu, where live music from That Little Band set the tone—great tunes, dancing, and a lively crowd ready to explore.
Throughout the evening, guests made their way through downtown, experiencing the creativity and hospitality of our local merchants. Stops like Rustic Cheese Shop impressed with their beautifully curated charcuterie cups, while other locations kept visitors coming back for more with delicious bites and thoughtful pairings. One of the most talked-about highlights of the night was Stuffed Buns, the soon-to-open kolaches spot that gave attendees a sneak peek of what’s to come. Their collaboration with the iconic Fox Theatre created a memorable experience that had people buzzing.
From start to finish, the entire downtown was full of energy. Shops were packed, sidewalks were lively, and the sense of community was stronger than ever. This event marked not only our first sold-out Wine Walk, but also the second sold-out event of the Downtown event season—a true testament to the excitement surrounding these events.
This incredible evening wouldn’t have been possible without the support of our generous glass sponsor, Cellar Door. Not only did they provide the wine glasses used by hundreds of attendees, but they also participated in the event, welcoming Wine Walk guests and adding to the overall experience.
