It’s around mid-December that holiday events really start ramping up, and with so many invitations clogging your Facebook inbox, it can be hard to manage your datebook. Here are a handful of great events:
Winter Feast, 12/13 at Fremont Sunday Market
What happens when the Fremont Sunday Market marries the Mobile Food Rodeo? Winter Feast, which takes place this Sunday, December 13, from 10am-3pm. On site at the regular antique-laden Fremont market, this week’s fete features 20 food trucks, including Ezell’s Express, Picnic, and Anchor Pretzel. Local crafters will have inexpensive gift ideas to browse while you munch, and heated patio heaters will line the streets. Free admission and details on Facebook.
Bait Shop Turns 3, 12/14
Linda Derschang’s north Capitol Hill hot spot, Bait Shop, turns three on Monday and a holiday-themed anniversary party is on the books. A holiday sweater party will include happy hour taco specials, frozen gingerbread drink specials, and free cake. Holiday surf band Dancer + Prancer will also be rocking out at the free event with live music. It all starts at 9pm and is free to partiers 21+.
Fernet Holiday Drinks at Single Shot, 12/15
Lovely Capitol Hill bar Single Shot turns into a one-stop shop for Fernet Branca cocktails in holiday drinks on Tuesday.
