20th Annual Art, Beer, & Wine Festival

We’re raising our glass to the 20th Anniversary of our largest annual fundraiser of the year: The Art, Beer, and Wine Festival! Join your friends (and make new ones) at Jackson, Michigan’s largest tasting events. A favorite community tradition, we’ll showcase Michigan’s best wineries, breweries, cider mills, and local artists.
