On Saturday, Aug. 9, from 2 to 6 p.m., art lovers and wine enthusiasts are invited to experience the charm of Winters during the next Second Saturday Art & Wine Stroll.
Throughout the afternoon, businesses along Main Street and Railroad Avenue will transform into pop-up galleries showcasing the work of talented regional artists. Attendees are encouraged to slow down, explore each stop, and enjoy the creative energy that fills the town each month. Many locations will offer wine or drink specials, and select venues will host artist meet-and-greets and live demonstrations, giving guests a chance to connect with the creators behind the work.
Look for the white “Art Stroll” flags outside participating locations and follow a self-guided map to enjoy all the stops.
