CEDARBURG, Wis. (CBS 58) — Downtown Cedarburg was bustling Sunday as people turned out for the second and final day of the city's annual Wine and Harvest Festival.

Despite the gloomy weather, crowds filled the downtown area for a day of vendors, live music, food, drinks and fall-themed activities.

The free festival has been a Cedarburg tradition for more than five decades and continues to draw visitors from across the area each year.

Organizers say part of the festival's appeal is the wide range of activities and attractions available for people of all ages.

"I think the most special thing about this is there's a little bit of everything for everyone," said Susan Schrader, executive director of the Cedarburg Cultural Center. "Whether you're here looking for a piece of art or whether you're here looking for an apple pie smoothie, they have it here. Whether you're an adult, child, there's something for everyone."

For those who missed this year's event, the festival is already scheduled to return next year.

The 2027 Wine and Harvest Festival will be held Sept. 11 and 12.
