The GrapeFest Event Details
GrapeFest offers free admission all-day September 12 and 13 until 5 PM. After that, single-day admission costs $8. There are also weekend, souvenir pass, unlimited carnival ride passes, and other options available.

It is the largest wine festival in the southwest. Grapefest will include three stages of live entertainment, samples of premium wines, and a carnival. Live street performers and entertainers will also be present on Main Street. KidsWorld will also host live acts, in addition to LEGOLAND Discovery Center activities and creatures from SEA LIFE Grapevine Aquarium.

Visitors can also enjoy attending pre-festival events in the days leading up to GrapeFest with ItalianCarFest, the Texas Wine Tribute Gala & Auction, and the GrapeFest Golf Classic.
