Sanford Arts & Vine Festival 3.62

Potters will be joined by wine enthusiasts, musicians and artists of other mediums at the second annual Sanford Arts & Vine Festival, set for May 2-3, at the Dennis A. Wicker Civic Center in Sanford.

The festival - a joint effort by business leaders, nonprofit groups, local artists, city officials and other community volunteers - replaces the now defunct Sanford Pottery Festival, which drew thousands to the area the weekend before Mother’s Day for 11 years. Sanford Arts & Vine is a celebration of the area’s pottery heritage, as well as Sanford’s growing artist community and the region’s growing wine industry.
