Don’t be a social loafer this weekend … or you’ll miss out on the first annual “Sip and Stroll: Art, Wine & Music Festival." This exciting event will be held outdoors at the EpiCentre. Tonight, come check out live jazz music and enjoy a delicious assortment of wine and appetizers. The event will take place all day Saturday, too — you can never have too much art, wine and music!

Art displays will include jewelry, painting, mixed media, ceramic, glass and more. Wineries present will include Redwood Creek, McWilliams, Red Rock and many more. Live jazz bands will be performing throughout the weekend, too.
