GUM REMOVAL TASK FORCE

The Downtown Foundation is working on a Downtown Beautification project with the City of Walla Walla. The first order of business is a power washing of the sidewalks throughout downtown. However, one thing the power washing won't do is lift the old chewing gum stuck to the sidewalks. Sadly, that will take good old-fashioned elbow grease! If you would be willing to work on a section of our sidewalks to remove the unsightly black spots, please call the office (529-8755) or email (info@downtownwallawalla.com) and we'll put you on the team and put the right tools in your hands!

Feast Walla Walla, the showcase event for the hospitality industry of the Walla Walla Valley, comes to downtown Saturday, April 10^th, promoting the uncommon quality of local food, wines, art and lodging.

The third annual 'Feast' will be held on Saturday, April 10, from 1pm to 4pm.  Walla Walla's historic, award-winning downtown streetscape will set the scene for a fabulous afternoon of sensory entertainment, under a city block-long heated tent.  Consumers may purchase tickets for $45, which includes a commemorative wine glass and 10 event tokens, which can be exchanged for samples of wine or food.  Additional tokens will be available for $2.  Participation is limited to individuals aged 21 years or older.

Limited to 50 vendors, samples of food and wine featuring many of the region's finest restaurants and food purveyors and wineries will be offered.   Works of art will be on display by local artists.  Musical entertainment will provide additional ambience and a chance to take a moment to savor and a sip in a busy and delightfully creative atmosphere.  Adding to the attendee's experience will be ability to purchase the wines being poured throughout the afternoon at an on-site, temporary retail sales location - the only food and wine event in the state to offer this opportunity.

Vendor listings, links to lodging options, and ticket purchase information can all be found online at www.feastwallawalla.com

Here is a phtoto of the tent we used at Feast a few years ago. Never been before? Well, this is your year. Visit our website to purchase tickets. See you April 10th!
