First Friday, then Sip & Stroll Saturday

LPR staff

The monthly First Friday events on April 5 will be followed by the annual Sip and Stroll on Saturday, April 6 in downtown Lockhart.

Both events are courtesy of the Lockhart Downtown Business Association.

This year’s Sip and Stroll will be more diverse than ever with the same fun array of red, white, pink, and bubbly from all around the globe, but with the addition of world-class sake from the likes of Konteki and more dealcoholized beverage stops for some friends of the event. 

Music will be provided by Spud Sims and the Beltways, which will be on the courthouse lawn from 3-5 p.m.

For tickets to Sip and Stroll, visit downtownlockhart.com.
