Hosted by Lighthouse Beer and Wine, this highly anticipated event is back with a bang, bringing together the joy of tasting exquisite wine and beer with the added excitement of the Voracious & Rare Beer and Wine Festival.
The Carousel Child Advocacy Center Beer and Wine Festival plays a significant role in supporting the Carousel Child Advocacy Center’s yearly budget. As an organization dedicated to providing essential services to child survivors of abuse and their families, the festival’s proceeds allow the Carousel Center to continue making a difference in the lives of those in need.
Set against the picturesque backdrop of the Live Oak Bank Pavilion in Riverfront Park, located at 10 Cowan St., Wilmington, the festival promises a day filled with tantalizing flavors and delightful entertainment. Rain or shine, locals and visitors alike are invited to immerse themselves in the vibrant atmosphere and explore a vast selection of beers, wines, and delectable culinary delights from the 100-120 vendors in attendance.
To ensure that participants make the most of their tasting experience, each entry ticket includes a tasting cup for sampling the wide array of beverages available. For those looking to indulge further, tasting tokens may be purchased separately, allowing them to explore additional offerings not covered by the ticket. And if you’re feeling peckish, fear not, as the festival will also feature an enticing selection of food vendors to satisfy your cravings.
In addition to the remarkable libations and gourmet treats, the Carousel Center Beer and Wine Festival will treat attendees to live performances by three local bands: The Swellians, Billy Heathen, and Soul on Fire.
