Romancing the Square: Cocktail Hour at 13FOREST

Join us Saturday, February 13, from 4 to 6 pm, for an afternoon of fine art and festive refreshments. Sip on French 75s (a champagne cocktail made with gin, lemon, a hint of sugar and served with a twist!) and peruse our exciting selection of locally made art, craft and jewelry. 

Romancing the Square is hosted by businesses throughout Capitol Square and features pop-up art happenings, chocolate tastings, tarot card readings, live music and other events over the course of Valentine's Day weekend.
