## Why go

With the Christmas lights on, the Elks Temple reckons an elk can pass for a reindeer. Twenty taps of holiday beer and cider make the case.

## What happens

Dancer and Prancer, who bill themselves as Seattle's kings of Christmas surf 'n stomp, play the early set, and Kristen Marlo and James Coates close. There's a photo booth too, and Santa sits for pictures from 4 to 6.

## Good to know

21 and over, standing room. A ticket gets you 10 tokens and a brewfest glass. Ugly sweaters are encouraged.

**Next year:** late November; McMenamins posted the 2026 date in the fall.
