CELEBRATE AUTUMN’S BOUNTY...
at the WINE & HARVEST FESTIVAL
SEPTEMBER 19 & 20, 2009

Spend a sweet, end-of-summer weekend in the country in Historic Cedarburg during Wine & Harvest Festival, Saturday, September 19 from 10-6 & Sunday, September 20 from 10-5. Both the abundance of Wisconsin’s homegrown produce and artisan food products plus the award-winning wines of Cedar Creek Winery are what initiated this free, family-oriented 37th annual event.

The many and varied Festival Food Booths feature steamed corn, caramel apples, kettle corn, apple cider, homemade ice cream, turkey legs, brats, burgers, grilled foods and savory/sweet delights. The Farmer’s Market brims with seasonal fruits and vegetables, flowers and plants, herbs and apples. At Cedar Creek Winery booths you’ll find wine by the glass. Locally produced foodstuffs such as honey, syrup, cheese, sausage and jellies are in the Marketplace.

Festival fans can kick back and listen to Live Music all over town, including Top Forty, Bluegrass, Folk and Rock & Roll bands. The Scarecrow Contest, is a seasonal favorite with dozens of winsome and whimsical hand-made straw-stuffed characters on display throughout the historic district. For a quick shuttle around town, hop aboard a tractor hayride wagon.

Treasures are just waiting to be discovered at Arts on the Avenue, with more than 200 juried booths presented by the Cedarburg Garden Club, Cedarburg Cultural Center and Ozaukee Art Center along Washington Avenue. Drop in at both the Cedarburg Cultural Center for the Cedarburg Artists Guild’s annual juried Fall Show and the Wisconsin Museum of Quilts and Fiber Arts special events and activities.

Last year the Great Pumpkin Charity Regatta was so much fun we’re doing it again. The 2008 event was a youtube favorite with gigantic, hollowed-out, floatable pumpkins, piloted by intrepid paddlers’ attempting to race across Cedar Creek. The festival’s Kids Korner entertainment will encompass a variety of activities geared for children. At The Shops of Cedar Creek Settlement the Winery’s hilarious Grape Stomp is a daily crowd-pleaser with the Kids' Stomp at 1:00 & 3:00 and the Adults' Stomp at 2:00 & 4:00. Other competitions include Grape Spitting at 2:15 and Apple Bobbing at 3:30 daily and families will delight in the enchanting Scarecrow Sculpture Garden. Come join us for fall fun in Historic Cedarburg, just 20 minutes north of Milwaukee. I-43 to exit 89, 3 miles West. North on Washington Ave.
