Rosé Day in the CWE

Did someone say Rosé? It's Rosé Day in the Central West End!

Rosé Day is about bringing people together in one of our favorite neighborhoods to explore, sip on great wine from at least 10 tasting stations and honor the 'Gatorade of Frontenac' in a most fitting way. This event also intends to raise awareness about local non-profit organizations that are seeking to empower and support women.

When: Saturday, May 4, 12-6 p.m.
