The 16th annual Arts & Music Festival will be in full swing Sept. 24 and 25 under the apple trees at Menghini Winery.

Sponsored by Julian Arts Guild, Julian Merchants Association and the winery, artists and crafters will be setting up their wares from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on both days.

Several local bands will be performing at the free event. Roger Travis will be serving his popular barbecue cuisine. Julian Arts Guild, with more than 80 members, helps foster art awareness in the Julian community with art tours, shows and demonstrations.

The winery is located at 1150 Julian Orchards Drive, three miles north of town. For more information, call Charlotte Mitchell at (760) 765-2569.
