About Us

The Red River Wine Festival is a charitable, non-profit organization established to promote local wineries and to raise funds for local charities. This annual celebration is the largest wine tasting event in the Wichita Falls area and has raised funds for local charities and programs. The Senior-Junior Forum of Wichita Falls donates their time and volunteers to organize this event each year and strives to deliver a family friendly & exciting event to all Wichita Falls attendees.

About the Senior-Junior Forum
The Senior-Junior Forum, a department of the Woman’s Forum, was formed in 1934.  It was at that time that the organization founded the Northside Girls Club and continued to support it through 1985 to benefit the community.  Since its inception, members have provided volunteer hours and/or financial support for several worthwhile local charities.  Successful fundraisers throughout the years have included everything from horse shows to theatrical productions.  Currently, the major fundraiser, the Red River Wine Festival, is in its eighth year.  In 2009 we celebrated our 75th Anniversary.

Tax Deductible
The organization has been granted 501(c)3 non-profit status by the Internal Revenue Service and all donations are tax deductible.  All profits from the Red River Wine Festival will be donated to the local charitable organizations supported by the Senior-Junior Forum.
