I’m notorious for looking ahead — some might say too far ahead — but you know what, I think you can never be too early to get your ducks in a row for some holiday cheer.
November is here, which means a lot of places are prepping for their holiday festivals, lights and more. We’ll get to that a little bit later.
Here’s what we have going on ⤵️
Celebrate “community and charm” this weekend at the Downtown Melbourne Food and Wine Festival 🍷.
There will be over 20 restaurants offering a sampling of a “specially crafted menu item,” from ribs to shrimp and grits to desserts. There will also be wines, spirits and craft beer to wash it all down.
And of course, live music and entertainment and even axe throwing 🪓. I don’t know about you, but I’ve never done this!
