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.
