Mission Statement:
It is the mission of the Smithfield Wine and Brew Fest to bring well organized, first class events to the Town of Smithfield and in doing so support local non-profits, charities and civic groups and strengthen our community by benefiting tourism and local business.
About the Fest:
On behalf of Smithfield Wine & Brew Fest Committee, we would like to thank everyone who helped make last year (our first one!) a success our community should be proud of! Hosted by the Smithfield Rotary Club, and in partnership with sponsors and the support of multiple civic organizations, we were able to give $43,500 back to the community.
A few other facts to note: total number of volunteers 132, sold-out crowd of 2148 folks, lots of locals, 45% of crowd was from out-of-town, and 88 hotel nights were booked in Smithfield because of the festival. WOW! Tickets sales included all Hampton Roads cities, Richmond, Charlottesville, Washington DC, Maryland, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, North & South Carolina, Georgia and Florida! Local businesses hosted wine related dinners, events and special sales that provided additional experiences. WOW - love that economic impact!
