WINE • FOOD • LIVE MUSIC • FLOWERS

Kennett Summerfest announces new collaborations for June 9 event!

Now in its third year, Kennett Summerfest returns with even more robust offerings for a "full sensory experience." Extended food options, including Talula’s Table, Sweet Amelia’s, Country Butcher, will highlight the culinary expertise found in Kennett Square.

Twelve Brandywine Valley winemakers will be sharing not only their best wines but also their extensive knowledge and expertise.

This year’s ode to local flowers is elevated with the addition of Styer’s Peonies, whose bouquets will be available for purchase along with other homewares. Styers Peonies will provide blooms for the floral display by Maria Navarrete-Olvera, owner of Zena Florist, surrounding the iconic teal vintage truck from sponsor COCOON Home Remodeling.
