Auburn Artwalk and Wine Tasting event returns Friday

Auburn’s Art Walk and Wine Tasting event offers an evening filled with local artists, music and fine wines at downtown businesses on Friday, from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m.

Local artists will display and sell their original handmade quality paintings, photography, sculptures and wearable art work at businesses.

The event is free, but wine tasting tickets are $15 pre-sale and $20 at the event and include eight 1-ounce tastes and a custom wine glass. Pre-sale tickets are available online at auburnartwalk.com or at the Auburn Valley Creative Arts (AVCA) Gallery, 238 E. Main Street, Green River Cyclery, 8 S. Division St., or Grocery Outlet, 102 Cross St. SE.

A walking map, wine tasting tickets, custom wine glass and ID check will be available at the information booths at the Rottles building, 226 E. Main, and the Plaza Park at Division and Main streets.

Leify Green – a rambling man, a 21st-century nomad with a Gypsy soul – will play music at the B Street Plaza on Main Street. The Davison Brothers will bring blues, jazz, and rock to stage at the City Hall courtyard. Three members of the Auburn Symphony will perform at the AVCA gallery.
