The 2nd Annual Summer in the City Music and Wine Festival is coming to downtown Salem, Oregon, on August 15h and 16th, 2009! The event, organized by Go Downtown Salem! will raise funds for Marion-Polk Food Share, the non-profit charity organization leading the fight to end hunger in Marion and Polk counties. A portion of the proceeds will also support Go Downtown, a non-profit organization, to promote live music events in Downtown Salem.

The family friendly festival has something for everyone. Listen to the “can’t be missed” Willamette Valley bands that will be there and dance in the streets! View fabulous art created by local artist. Taste the best of the Willamette Valley wines or relax in the beer garden. Children can play at the Family Village, an area dedicated to fun activities for the young – or young-at-heart. Food and shopping will be aplenty throughout the festival area. A short walk to Riverfront Park will take you to a great car show.
