Leland Wine and Food Festival with a Twist!

Due to continuing construction in the Leland Harbor and Fishtown, the 35th Leland Wine and Food Festival will take place at The Leland Lodge, just up the hill from Main St. 5-Ton Tours will be offering rides to and from Leland to The Lodge throughout the duration of the festival to ensure party-goers can easily access local shops and attractions. Many thanks to both the Leland Lodge and 5-Ton Tours for making this event possible.
