This Saturday, from 2-10 p.m., locals can experience the second annual Westside Warehouse District Block Party, a celebration of wines, beers and other spirits in West Eugene.
This event is free and open to anyone 21 or older, who can help themselves to beverages provided by Noble Estate Winery and J. Scott Cellars, among others, and pair them with dinner and dessert from food trucks and an ice cream wagon. This will all also be accompanied by live music throughout the event.
So, if you’re feeling a little tired of the bar scene this weekend, designate a driver and take your friends to party for free, on the 500 block of Commercial St. in Eugene. This is only a one-day event with plenty of activity to offer.
