Bring your lawn chairs & blankets and spread out on the green grass and open space! Meet your friends for a fun, relaxing & delicious night in the Park! Great for families!

Alfaro Family Vineyards will be joining us again this year as our featured winery. The Uncommon Brewers van will be onsite pouring a selection of their unusual, eclectic, and undoubtedly uncommon brewers.
