Art, wine, and local charm fill downtown this Saturday.
The Winters Second Saturday Art & Wine Stroll returns for its final event of the 2025 season on Saturday, Oct. 11, from 2 to 6 p.m. Downtown Winters will come alive as businesses along Main Street and Railroad Avenue transform into pop-up galleries, showcasing the work of regional artists. Guests are encouraged to slow down, stroll, and explore, enjoying artist meet-and-greets, live demonstrations, and seasonal wine and drink specials.
