Celebrate 50 Wine Walks this Summer!

Raise a glass and plan ahead for the 2026 Summer Wine Walk returning to downtown Antioch on Saturday, June 20, from noon to 4 p.m. This year’s event is especially memorable as the Village celebrates its 50th Wine Walk this summer.

Participants will enjoy sampling more than 50 wines at more than 30 locations throughout downtown while sipping, shopping and strolling through local businesses and restaurants. Each ticket includes a commemorative wine glass and tote bag, and participants will also receive a vintage wine glass at check-in while supplies last.

Early check-in will begin at 11 a.m. at Sequoit Creek Park, giving guests time to check out the Farmers Market before the event begins.

Attendees will also have the opportunity to enter raffles for a variety of exciting prizes. The event is sponsored by Raymond Chevrolet Kia in partnership with Antioch Fine Wine & Liquors. Learn more and purchase tickets here.

Antioch Taste of Summer

Get ready for a refreshed and re-energized summer tradition in downtown Antioch!

The Antioch Chamber of Commerce's Taste of Summer 2026 is moving to new dates this year and will take place June 4 - 7, bringing four days of food, music, entertainment, and community celebration to the heart of town.

This year’s event will once again feature a wide variety of local food vendors, live musical performances and summer activities designed for all ages. One of the biggest highlights returning in 2026 is the expanded carnival, provided by Fantasy Amusements, offering classic rides, games, and family-friendly excitement throughout the weekend.

Community members are encouraged to note the date change, as this year’s festival will take place on a different weekend than in previous years.

A meaningful and much-appreciated tradition also returns on Saturday morning: the Special Needs Carnival Morning, held from 10 a.m. to noon. This dedicated time offers a quieter, more comfortable environment so families with special needs can enjoy the carnival experience in a welcoming and accessible setting. Be sure to update your calendar and learn more here.

Take the Safe Routes to School Survey

The Village is seeking community input as part of its Safe Routes to School Community Travel Plan initiative. Students, parents, residents and local business owners are encouraged to participate in a public survey and interactive online mapping activity focused on improving safety and accessibility for walking, biking and rolling to local schools.

Community feedback will help guide future recommendations and create a plan that reflects the needs and priorities of Antioch families. The survey will remain open through Friday, June 19. Residents can access the survey here and the interactive map here.

There is still time to sign up for Antioch Summer Day Camp before programs begin June 1! Families can choose from Camp Sunshine for grades K-2, Antioch Adventures for grades 3-7, and Teen Travelers Bike Camp for ages 11-14. Camps run through August 8, with bonus weeks available through August 18.

Designed to keep kids active, engaged and having fun all summer long, each week includes park games, swim days at the Aqua Center, field trips, themed activities, pizza days and cookout Fridays. Flexible scheduling is available with a minimum two-day weekly registration, and camp costs $43 per day. Learn more and register here.
