The Green at Ross Bridge

Your favorite free fall event for a worthy cause is back.

Uncorked! on the Green is held in conjunction with Arts & Music on the Green, a juried art festival. This year’s event will be held on Saturday, Oct. 11, from 9-5 p.m. at the Ross Bridge Welcome Center and will benefit the Breast Cancer Research Foundation of Alabama.

 “Every dollar [the BCRFA] raises stays right here in Alabama,” said Audrey Alverson-Stowe, president and owner of festival host Classic Events Inc.

 Uncorked! is a free premier tasting event celebrating the area’s varied culinary and musical artists.

 With a valid ID, guests may sample fine wines and boutique beers from around the world from noon until 5 p.m. 

New this year is the California-based Lagunitas Brewing Company, participating with their “Couch Trippin’” national video marketing tour.  

“Come out and get your photo made on one of their traveling couches to be included in their virtual trip throughout the country,” Alverson-Stowe said.

Guests may also sample foods prepared by the area’s top food establishments as they present some of their menu favorites.

 The Kid’s Art Project, a collaboration with local schools, supports elementary school art programs and awards cash prizes.

In addition to local and regional artists and craftsmen, there’s plenty to enjoy such as children’s activities, face painting, bounce houses and craft projects along with food, live music on two stages, prizes and more

Uncorked! and Arts & Music on the Green are located at Ross Bridge, voted the “Best Community in America” in 2010.

“[The festival is] a huge success for the community,” Alverson-Stowe said.
