Mardi Gras and Garlic Festival

Looking for something fun to do today?  How about every Sunday in February?  The Westport Winery has anticipated your need to combat the "end of the weekend blues", and has brought back the Mardi Gras and Garlic Festival!

With Mardi Gras falling on Tuesday February 12 this year, you might be asking yourself, "What is the  Mardi Gras and Garlic Festival"?  

Starting today, February 3, and running every Sunday in February from 11-4 the Westport Winery (located on South Arbor Rd) is playing host to live music with the Electric Park Jazz Band.  Wine club members will receive a free wine tasting for both them and their guests, complimentary chicken and wild rice gumbo is available for everyone, and for $5 visitors may also sample wine handpicked for the festival.  Selections of mock tails will also be available including the wine Hurricane made in the New Orleans tradition. The garlic portion of the festival will also be well represented with a host of gourmet garlic selections for tasting. 

Come on out today starting at 11am, and remember, beads are an acceptable form of dress for this Mardi Gras occasion!
