Wine Down Downtown • Laurel Main Street

We’re introducing a new monthly event: Wine Down Downtown! One Friday each month, we will host a wine tasting and shopping event from 5:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. with downtown merchants and restaurants staying open late. We look forward to the fun and fellowship this will provide our community and the opportunities this will provide our merchants.

Important Information

Please note: We are only serving tastes — equivalent to about a 2 ounce pour. Pours will be limited to 2 pours per person, per location. Wine will only be poured into Laurel Main Street wine tumblers.

How do I get a Laurel Main Street wine tumbler?

The Laurel Main Street tent will be set up at the intersection of Central Ave. and Magnolia St. and will serve as the entry point for the event. Stop by the tent to purchase your wine tumbler ($15, cash only) and pick up an event map. Don’t forget your ID! LMS volunteers will check IDs at the event tent. Only those 21 and older are allowed to purchase wine tumblers. If you forget cash, there are two ATMs downtown: Laurel Welcome Center and BancorpSouth.

Where should I park?

There are several events happening downtown this weekend, so we suggest parking on the outskirts of downtown.

What about the kids?

Kids are welcome! Loblolly/Crescent Line Toys will be hosting children’s activities. Our two downtown parks will also serve as a place for children to enjoy during the festivities. For the safety of all the children, we ask that they be supervised in the parks.

What if I don’t want wine?

Folks that don’t drink wine or don’t want to participate in the tasting are still welcome! We encourage everyone to come! Beer/Liquor/non-alcoholic drinks can be purchased from several downtown restaurants as well as Slowboat Brewery. The 5000, The Knight Butcher, Mimmo’s, Cafe Lafleur, Slowboat Brewery, The Loft, Shug’s, Lee’s Coffee and Tea, and Scotsman General Store will also be serving various drinks besides wine.

Where’s the closest restroom?

We will not have any public port-a-potties for this event, however, Shugs, Laurel Mercantile, and Scotsman General Store are generously providing public restrooms for this event.

Special thanks to our volunteers, downtown business owners, supporters, and sponsors. We appreciate the donations provided by Community Bank and Doc’s Eastside Wine and Liquor.
