Virginia Wine & Craft Festival

Don't miss the 21st Annual Virginia Wine & Craft Festival, to be held Saturday May 19, 2007 in historic downtown Front Royal, in Warren County, Virginia.

The main downtown area of Front Royal - The Commons, Chester St, & East Main St - is cordoned off to leave a delightful area for visitors to roam and mingle. Wine producers and skilled crafters come from all over Virginia, and in addition there are many local Warren County businesses and organizations represented, and lots of fun, games and rides for the kids.

Musical entertainment is at the gazebo in The Commons, and on the Court House lawn. At the gazebo will be popular local Beatles cover band Glass Onion (from 10 am to 1 pm), and Texas Chainsaw Horns (2 pm to 5.30 pm), a band blending soul, funk, rock and country. In front of the Court House will be Bill Dykes & The Beatnik Night Players (bluegrass/jazz variety) from 12 pm to 2 pm.

Admission is $12 in advance, $18 at the gate - for that, you get all the wine tasting you want. If you don't want to join in the wine tasting, admission is just $2, with kids aged under 6 free.

Advance tickets may be purchased from the Warren County Chamber of Commerce, call (540) 635-3185.

This is a great event with a fantastic buzz - if you are new to Warren County or haven't been to the event before, make it a priority!
