Join us for Oviedo Mall’s Regency Sip & Stroll, an evening of shopping, sipping, strolling, and pretending for a few hours that your biggest concern is securing a favorable match before the season ends. Explore amazing vendors. Dress in your Regency best (or simply admire those who do). And most importantly, enjoy a free food and wine stroll throughout the mall. Will there be scandal? We can neither confirm nor deny. Will there be wine? Yes. We look forward to seeing you at court.
