Rostraver Ice Garden will host  the Wine ’n Spirits Taco Palooza Food Truck Fest from 11:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday.

It’s designed to be an outdoor family fun event, but in the event of rain the festival will be moved inside.

The event is one of 42 sponsored through Dottie and Bob Miller’s company, WineFestPA.com, that are held throughout Pennsylvania.

The duo from Jefferson borough have been event specialists for nearly two decades. Dottie Miller said they began to see a need for wine festivals and in 2015, they moved away from wedding expos and began the trek to the statewide wine festivals.
