The Heart of Lebanon Announces Second Annual “It’s All Fun & Games” Mocktail Stroll

Downtown Event on January 17th to Promote Interactive Shopping and Non-Alcoholic Offerings

LEBANON, IN, December 19, 2025 — The Heart of Lebanon is excited to announce the return of its popular Mocktail Stroll, titled “It’s All Fun & Games,” scheduled for Saturday, January 17th, from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM in the historic downtown. The event is strategically timed to coincide with “Dry January,” offering the community a unique, vibrant way to explore local businesses.

The Mocktail Stroll is your ticket to experiencing the best of Downtown Lebanon. Attendees will receive tickets to redeem non-alcoholic (NA) samples from participating downtown restaurants. While sipping their way through the district, they will embark on an interactive BINGO Scavenger Hunt that leads them into local retail shops, turning a casual stroll into a full-fledged adventure.

“This event does a fantastic job of highlighting the fun, creative non-alcoholic offerings from our downtown restaurants,” said Sarah Howell, Event Coordinator with The Heart of Lebanon. “It also encourages people to venture into the stores and do some active searching to complete their BINGO card, which drives exploration and helps customers discover new retail spots they might have missed.”

Participating restaurants will create unique, handcrafted mocktails, aligning with the event’s inclusive theme, which allows everyone to enjoy a high-quality beverage experience. Klooz Brewz, a participating location, is dedicated to making their space welcoming for all community members.

“We chose to participate in the Mocktail Stroll again because, at Klooz Brewz, our mission has always been about bringing people together, ” said Austin Shutt, General Manager.

“Events like this are the heartbeat of downtown Lebanon; they encourage neighbors to explore our vibrant local shops and eateries while enjoying something unique. For us, it’s not just about the beer—it’s about being a welcoming space for everyone in the community, whether they’re looking for a craft brew or a creative, handcrafted mocktail.”

The retail portion of the stroll is where the “Fun & Games” truly come alive. Attendees will use their BINGO cards to embark on a scavenger hunt, searching for specific, featured items inside participating downtown stores. This interactive challenge encourages discovery throughout the district. Those who complete a BINGO or fill their entire card will be entered to win the grand Downtown Prize Pack, filled with fantastic gifts and vouchers donated by participating businesses.

Meghan Farris, owner of Farris Wheel Music Studio & Store, is looking forward to the vibrant community atmosphere the event brings downtown. “I’m so excited to join the Mocktail Stroll again this year with Heart of Lebanon. Last year was a blast getting to meet so many people and chatting music trivia along the way. I’m incredibly grateful for our community showing up to support these events, and I can’t wait to see all the smiling faces downtown again.”

Tickets are limited and include all mocktail samples, a welcome bag with promotions, and entry into the prize drawing.
