There’s no better way to celebrate springtime in North County than with the return of the Spring Art & Wine Walk at The Forum Carlsbad. This free community event brings together local art and curated wine tastings. It offers a lively atmosphere that fits the season perfectly.

An Afternoon of Art All Around You

Stroll through The Forum’s open-air spaces and discover an eclectic mix of work. There are paintings, photography, mixed media, and handcrafted pieces displayed across boutiques and restaurants throughout the center.

Featured artists include Angela Palacios of AP Color Paintings, Gather Wild, Ilana Dashe, Virginie Mazureau, and Artisan Collective. More artists are still to be announced.

Participating retailers include Anthropologie, Geppetto’s, Madewell, lululemon, YETI, and more – each hosting their own creative activation throughout the afternoon.

The Wine Garden Experience

Head to the Wine Garden near YETI, where Jimbo’s will be pouring a curated selection of wines from Chambers & Chambers, Duckhorn, and Massanois. Think Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc, Provençal rosé, Bordeaux-style Claret, and Champagne Brut.

Pair your glass with a charcuterie grazing table by Mirabelle Charcuterie. You can also try Jimbo’s vegan Tahini Puffs while enjoying live acoustic music by Marelle.

Wine Garden entry is for those 21 and over.

Donations collected at the Wine Garden will benefit The Flower Fields Foundation. This supports educational and enrichment programs for local youth.

A Few More Reasons to Stick Around

Watch artist Bella Bowman paint live near the Wine Garden. Meanwhile, snap a photo at the Wander Wagen by the Koi Pond, or join the pressed flower bookmark workshop. This way, you can take home a handcrafted keepsake made from real blooms.

Workshop tickets are available via Eventbrite, with proceeds also going to The Flower Fields Foundation.
