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!
