Taste of Town - Restaurant & Downtown Business Sign-Up
About the application
Waycross Winter Wine & Jazz — Saturday, December 12, 2026 • 7:00–9:00 PM • Downtown Waycross
Downtown restaurants and businesses are invited to be part of Taste of Town, the local-flavor component of Winter Wine & Jazz. Guests stroll the downtown street footprint sampling wine, listening to live jazz, and tasting small bites from the businesses that make downtown Waycross what it is.
Ways to participate (choose one or more):
- Tasting station — serve small appetizer samples at a station along the street
- Promotion / activation — stay open late, offer an event-night special, or host a pop-up in front of your storefront
- Indoor space — make your space available as a warm gathering spot or as a weather backup for tastings, food, or entertainment
What you get: your business advertised on the official Winter Wine & Jazz webpage at waycrossga.gov/WinterWineJazz with a link to your website, promotion on WCVB social media and in the event marketing campaign, and foot traffic from a ticketed downtown crowd.
