About the Festival
Local restaurants and vendors will be on hand with culinary offerings, and Pinot’s Palette will be there for painting and sipping fun. You might uncover some serious art skills as you sip and stroke your way to artistic genius. Even if that doesn’t happen, it’ll still be fun.
The Latela Art Gallery will also be there. The gallery will have a pop-up tent filled with art, so you can look around and maybe even buy something. Who knows, you might even be able to show off the painting you make at Pinot’s Palette.
What’s Happening on the Stage
There will also be a stage at the festival. Eat.Yoga.Drink is taking the stage at noon to lead attendees through yoga poses. Bring your mat and plop it down in front of the stage. Then, you can enjoy the benefits that come with yoga, such as increased flexibility and lower blood pressure.
Then, Nelly’s Echo will take the stage at 1 p.m. You might recognize the singer/songwriter from season three of “The Voice.” Nelly’s Echo offers a nice mix of pop and soul music that is sure to get your feet to tapping.
