Alexander City’s 10th annual celebration of summer kicks off June 2 with exciting new activities, as well as the return of many favorite events, culminating with the Jazz Fest concert series at Strand Park and Lake Martin Amphitheater. This year’s Sun Festival calendar includes 30 events over nine days, beginning with a brand new cocktail exhibition in the downtown alley prior to the Strand Sessions concert in the park.

Castelluccio head bartender Crayton Walton will set up the exhibition in the alley beside the restaurant, where he will demonstrate the assembly of some of the dining venue’s most popular beverages. This free exhibition will start at 5:15 p.m., and cocktails will be available for sale to be enjoyed during the Lake Martin Young Professionals’ Strand Session concert at the top of the Strand Park hill.
