Shop Sip-n-Stroll kicks off this weekend in Albert Lea

ALBERT LEA, Minn. (KTTC) – The Historic Downtown Albert Lea invites visitors and residents to its second Shop Sip-n-Stroll of the year on Saturday, September 27.

The fall event, in partnership with the Albert Lea Convention and Visitor Bureau, gives the community a chance to support local businesses along 7th Street and Broadway Avenue.

Strollers can find anything from gift and clothing shops to restaurants and bars.

Angela Moller, an organizer of the event and owner of Homestead Boutique, says this is one of the busiest times of the year in the downtown area, and they’re expecting a lot of attendees.

“It’s a great time for people to see some stores that maybe they haven’t visited in the past, places they’ve forgotten about, or new places. That they haven’t tried yet,” she said.

People can also purchase a tumbler to try fall-inspired beverages at each of the participating businesses. Those include a caramel apple martini, a harvest sangria, and sunflower wine. Mocktail options will also be available.

Tumblers can be purchased in advance or in person at 112 on Broadway.

Participating businesses include:

• Leuthold’s
• Daisy Blue Naturals
• The Outlet
• The Homestead Boutique
• Plymouth Shoe Store
• Between Friends Boutique
• Mom’s Bread Company
• Realty One Group Black Diamond
• Man Between the Lakes
• Ignite Nutrition
• Conger Meat Market
• Jeni’s Fine Jewelers
• Creating Sew Much
• The 112 on Broadway
