Downtown Fallbrook, the Friendly Village, under the auspices of the Fallbrook Area Visitors Bureau, is proud to welcome all to their first – not to be missed – Wine & "A Bite" Art Walk event that will take place June 21 from 5 to 7 p.m.

This is an opportunity to sip, sample and saunter while discovering the charm of Fallbrook at this inaugural event.

The Art Walk events will take place the third Saturday each month throughout the summer, with the final Wine & "A Bite" Art Walk for the season to be held in September.

Linda Kissam, executive director of the Fallbrook Area Visitors Bureau, recently shared with me her announcement that this event will feature food from three popular Fallbrook restaurants, wine from an award-winning winery and unique art experiences at each stop.

Take in fine gourd art at the Fallbrook Art Center, hands-on ceramics and printmaking at the Art Campus of Fallbrook, fine paintings at the Jacques Company & Gallery and the human form at Brandon Gallery.
