5th Annual Winds at the Winery Community Band Festival

We are delighted to announce that the 5th Annual Winds at the Winery Community Band Festival has be scheduled for July 24, 2022! We have missed our local band friends and audiences these past two years during the pandemic and are so looking forward to seeing you all again at the winery.

Spend a summer afternoon at the winery and enjoy several local community bands. Food, wine, and beer will be available for purchase while performances by several local bands will take place throughout the afternoon, starting at 1.

Funds will be raised to benefit The Melina Michelle Edenfield Foundation in support of pediatric brain tumor research. Melina was a bright, energetic young girl, who lost her life in 2020 to a deadly childhood brain tumor called Diffuse Midline Glioma (DMG). The Melina Michelle Edenfield foundation was established in her memory to help find a cure for this terrible disease. The foundation is a local organization, based in Canfield and all proceeds go directly toward research.

Food will be available for purchase from the Winery, The Food Cruiser, and Guy’s BBQ. Wine and beer will also be available for purchase from the winery. You may bring your own food and soft drinks, however Ohio law prohibits anyone from bringing alcoholic beverages onto Winery property. Picnic tables and chairs will be available on a first come first serve basis, but you are welcome to bring lawn chairs or blankets and sit on the lawn. There will be a kids activity tent, with games and prizes for children.
