42nd Annual Nouveau Parade & Celebration

Galena Cellars celebrates the release of the 2026 Nouveau wine - The 42nd Annual Celebration!

The parade of revelers will assemble at 2:30 pm for a trek around Galena’s Main Street in assorted modes of transportation and merriment, from horse-drawn wagons to trollies, as the annual Nouveau wine is delivered to Galena merchants who support the Nouveau by displaying posters in their shop windows. Join in or watch the procession - “Le Beaujolias Nouveau est arrivé!”

Local restaurants and Galena businesses continue the celebration all weekend with live music, wine tastings, dinner specials, and receptions.

All of the details about Nouveau Weekend can be found HERE!

Looking forward to celebrating another year of Illinois wine, community and fun!
