The annual Crocker Park Wine Festival is nearing. The event will celebrate its 13th year on Sept. 13 and 14, according to Stacie Schmidt, vice president of marketing and communications for the Westlake location.
It will include over 150 wine products, Schmidt said. Additionally, the festival will carry food and have musical artists and other events for guests to enjoy, she said. “A benefit for University Hospitals Rainbow Babies & Children’s Hospital , the Crocker Park Wine Festival is held under tents along South Main Street,” according to the festival.
“The Festival will feature 150 plus wines from local, national and international producers as well as select craft beers and spirits. “Guests will also enjoy live music, a variety of exhibitors and artists, and great food.” The event has garnered a consistent following over its first dozen years, Schmidt said.
She noted that although the festival will include a few new wines in 2024, consistency and quality still is the name of the game. “I think consistency is key,” Schmidt said. “It’s what everyone has grown to love, to expect from us, some fabulous wines and also liquor and beer tasting as well, as a part of it.
“(We’re) kind of expanding people’s palates and trying new things.” The festivities will include two musical guests per day, Schmidt said. Groups performing at the festival will include 732 The Electric Duo, Backtraxx, Jump The Gun and Funkology.
A few of the Crocker Park businesses will.
