The 15th Annual Art & Wine Festival will be held held this Saturday, Oct. 12, on the grounds of the Driftwood Inn in quaint Mexico Beach. Starting at 2:00 p.m., attendees can stroll more than two dozen artisan booths and shop for one-of-a-kind handcrafted artwork, listen to music by Randy Stark and Art Long, sip a glass of wine or craft beer from the cash bar, bid on exciting silent and live auction items, and enjoy a relaxing afternoon along the Unforgettable Coast.
