The Lehighton Downtown Initiative will host the sixth annual Wine on the River from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday at Baer Memorial Park in Lehighton. The event is open to those age 21 and over.

Fifteen wineries will be in attendance from all over Eastern Pennsylvania, along with food trucks, crafters and vendors.

The event will be comprised of sampling a variety of wines, shopping, listening to live music and more.

Those who attend are urged to bring their own lawn chairs, drink, eat and listen to the music.

All tickets come with a complimentary wineglass for taste testing, along with their own custom wine check.

A new stage will be added this year with the following live music:

• The Left Edge, 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

• Damian Walck, 1:30-3:30 p.m.

• Rock Villains, 4-6 p.m.

There will also be plenty of food trucks available for lunch, dinner and in between. No outside food or beverages are allowed.

“Our small businesses need your help by patronizing them with everything from charcuterie type foods to full meals,” said Bambi Elsasser, community operations director, LDI. “With over 30 crafters and vendors you will be sure to find that lovely trinket to take home with you.”

Elsasser said that all advance ticket sales will be entered to win a basket of wine, one from each of the 15 wineries.
