Wine Down in the Parks 2024

Wine Down in the Parks is the SMPS’s spring showcase of not only three gorgeous San Marco parks, but many of our local San Marco vendors. All food, beverage, and music are provided by locals — the overwhelming majority of whom call San Marco home. Guests enjoy a music-filled evening of al fresco fun while supporting the continued maintenance, preservation, and improvement of San Marco’s historic parks.

Please join us to experience the charm of Whatley, Davin, and Balis Parks on this magical evening filled with live music, tapas, craft beer, wine, and cocktails from several of the neighborhood’s best bars, restaurants, and musicians. Each event stop will feature a different theme and flavor. And this year, with at least two local food and beverage partners per park and even more in the works, we know you’ll want to be there! 

When: Saturday, April 13, 2024, 4-7 P.M.
Where: Whatley Park, Davin Park, & Balis Park
