Join us on Wednesday, May 20th from 6:00–9:00 p.m. at the Foellinger-Freimann Botanical Conservatory for an evening of global flavors and cultural connection.

Travel the world without leaving Fort Wayne.

SIPS FROM OUR SISTER CITIES


Guests will journey through tasting stations inspired by Fort Wayne and its Sister Cities in Poland, Germany, Japan, and Myanmar. At each station, enjoy a cocktail or mocktail sample paired with appetizers while learning about the culture and connections that link our communities.

Each guest will receive a passport to guide their experience. Visit each country station to taste international cocktails or mocktails and appetizers inspired by that destination while learning about the culture and Sister City connection. Collect stamps along the way as you travel around the world.

The Botanical Conservatory will be hosting its butterfly exhibit during the event, and admission is included with your ticket. Sip and stay awhile!
