Sykesville Art & Wine Festival celebrates its seventh year by Kevin Dayhoff May 7, 2017 Carroll County Times


Sykesville Art & Wine Festival celebrates its seventh year by Kevin Dayhoff May 7, 2017 Carroll County Times http://www.carrollcountytimes.com/news/sykesville/ph-cc-sykesville-art-wine-festival-2-20170507-story.html

Mother Nature smiled on Sunday and provided a beautiful day for folks to take over Sykesville's downtown and have a party. One of the many sure signs that spring has arrived in Carroll County are the sights, sounds, and excitement of the annual Sykesville Fine Art & Wine Festival.

This was the seventh year for the event, according to Julia Della-Maria, Sykesville's Main Street Association coordinator. This year the festival brought about 6,000 visitors to downtown Sykesville, according to Della-Maria.

This a great boost to the "over 30 unique and eclectic businesses (in town) — many of them have received awards for their originality and success," said Della-Maria.

In a recent release it was announced that Sykesville was named as a quarterfinalist in the competition. Nationwide, "More than 156,000 votes were cast for 242 nominees during the nominations phase," according to the release. "Quarterfinalist voting begins May 1 at www.votesykesville.com and runs through May 28." You really can vote early and often for Sykesville.
