The Jeep Run will leave Ste. Marie at 10 am with registration from 9 to 10 am. and travel throughout the countryside during the day visiting local bars and in the evening returning back to Ste. Marie and the festival which starts at 5 pm. During the festival, adults 21 and over will have the opportunity to sample wines from eight different wineries, each with their own speciality wines. The famous Porksicle will be available for purchase at the food tent.
