It’s time to unwind in San Marco.  The ultimate happy hour, Affair in the Square, is back!  From music in Balis Park to wine tastings in the boutiques, the Affair is bigger and better than ever with art showings, happy hour specials, dance performances and more!  Join us October 21st in San Marco Square, and the third Thursday of each month, for the Affair in the Square.  Passports for wine tasting will be available outside Taverna.

The event is from 6:00-9:00 PM.

DJ Wes will be spinning in Balis Park.

Mpact, a Motown inspired band, will be playing in the TAG parking lot.

From 7:00-7:30, there will be dance performances by Dance Trance and The Performers Academy in Balis Park.

Off Square Merchants and artists will have tables set up throughout the Square.

Both Stellar’s Gallery and SMART Gallery will be open for viewing.

Wine Tastings in the boutiques:  Passports will be handed out to customers allowing them to participate in a complimentary wine tasting in each store that is open. The stores names will be listed on the passport. At the end of the night, the passports may be turned into either the Grotto or Taverna, to be entered in a raffle for $250.00  of San Marco gift certificates. Each store listed must stamp the passport for it to qualify for the raffle. It is not necessary for the customer to taste the wine to get it stamped but they must visit the store. All wines poured in the boutiques will be sold for half off at the restaurant who normally carries it for the duration of that evening.

Passports will be available for pick up at a table outside of Taverna and at each participating boutique.

There will be face painting for kids outside of Woodside Lane compliments of Pink Ivy Productions.

San Marco Magazine, along with the Performers Academy, will be hosting an all ages model search. The check-in table will be located in front of The Hobbie Horse.
