by | Jul 17, 2024

Welcome to Downtown Morgan Hill, a vibrant hub nestled in the heart of Silicon Valley, south of the bustling tech centers, and right in the midst of the serene beauty of Santa Clara County Wine Country. This community, with its rich agricultural roots and innovative spirit, is known for fostering a strong community spirit, thanks in no small part to the local events sponsored by the Morgan Hill Downtown Association (MHDA) since its establishment in 2002. These events not only showcase the local culture and hospitality but also bring together residents and visitors, making Downtown Morgan Hill a lively, engaging place to be throughout the year.

The MHDA is at the forefront of organizing key community events that have come to define the social calendar in Morgan Hill. Among these are the spring Wine Stroll, the fall Brew Crawl, and the family-friendly Safe Trick or Treat, events that cater to diverse interests while promoting local businesses and the region’s rich viticultural heritage. The Wine Stroll, a particular highlight, invites locals and visitors alike to meander through Downtown Morgan Hill, sampling exquisite wines poured by local wineries. This event, alongside others like the Brew Crawl, epitomizes the community’s love for fine beverages, food, and festive gatherings, providing a perfect venue for socializing, networking, and celebrating the unique charm of Morgan Hill.

The 2024 Wine Stroll has been lauded as a “sippin’ success,” drawing crowds from across Santa Clara County and beyond. The streets of Downtown Morgan Hill buzzed with life as participants enjoyed a day filled with wine tasting, live music, and culinary delights, showcasing the best of what local wineries have to offer. This event not only served as a platform for wine enthusiasts to explore new varietals and favorites but also played a significant role in boosting local commerce, with various shops, restaurants, and galleries opening their doors to the influx of visitors, further highlighting the close-knit, supportive nature of the Morgan Hill community.
