All ticket holders will receive bite-sized samples of food, and tastes of wine, spirits, and beer during the festival.

Ticket holders will be required to show proof of a ticket to receive sampling at the festival. Enhanced security will be present at each station to ensure our ticket holders are the only ones participating.

Each ticketed guest will be required to show ID (21 and over for wine and beer!) at the entrance to the festival.

Each ticketed guest will receive a souvenir-tasting glass at the entrance to the Downtown Melbourne Food and Wine Festival, which will be used for beverage tastings.

This is a rain-or-shine event.

Proceeds from this festival will be used to advocate for the revitalization of Downtown Melbourne under four key focus areas including Economic Vitality, Design, Promotion, and Organization while assisting businesses who have an interest in ensuring Downtown Melbourne continues to be the premier destination for unique experiences, tastes, and shopping.

Melbourne Main Street invites you to visit our redesigned and enhanced website DowntownMelbourne.com to learn more about the events, history, and opportunities for visitors in Downtown Melbourne.
