WATKINS GLEN, N.Y. (WENY) -- The almost three-decade old celebration of wine and food in the Finger Lakes now has a new name. The Finger Lakes Wine Festival, which started in 1997, will now be known as F.L.X. Summer Fest at The Glen, Watkins Glen International announced.

Track officials say the redesigned event will feature fun for the whole family through live music, local craft vendors, as well as food and drink from around the region.

“The new and improved F.L.X. Summer Fest at The Glen is made to be a place where everyone can gather to celebrate the culture of this unique New York region,” said Dawn Burlew, President of Watkins Glen International. “It’s the perfect event to capture the spirit of summer."

F.L.X. Summer Fest will take place July 18-20 at Watkins Glen International. The event starts Friday the 18th with a kickoff party. The 19th will feature family-friendly activities, artisan markets and food and drink tastings. Organizers say cars will be driving around WGI's track throughout the day, and a concert will take place at night. The festival ends the 20th with a 5K fun run around the track and a relaxing breakfast.

On site camping will also be available throughout the weekend. Those who camped during last year's Finger Lakes Wine Festival will be able to renew their permits for Summer Fest.
