OCEAN CITY – An expanded festival footprint and the return of several wine and craft vendors highlights this weekend’s 26th Annual Wine on the Beach.
While the event was postponed last year in response to the COVID-19 outbreak, Wine on the Beach 2021 is set to return to the Ocean City Inlet Sept. 10-11.
For decades, the special event has been held on the last weekend in September. This year, however, organizers have moved the festival to an earlier date in the month.
“Our vendors and guests have asked us for dates when weather would be warmer, more activities available and without conflicts from other events outside the festival,” said event coordinator Christina Nokes. “In 2021, we are able to deliver.”
Similar to past festivals, this year’s Wine on the Beach will feature unlimited samples from 11 Maryland wineries, 30 craft vendors, three food vendors and live entertainment from Bird Dog and the Road Kings and other regional bands. Wine by the glass, bottle or case, as well as microbrew and domestic beer, will be available for purchase.
I think a Modelo would be a more appropriate tasting for recent visitors.
