Holiday hijinks are back with our annual Elf Pub Run, a Paramount tradition for over a decade. Our friends at the North Pole (okay, Buddy) wants to keep the holiday beers and cheers going even while the Paramount is under restoration. We’ll start at the State Theatre, Pub Run (or VIP bus ride) to Scholz Garten, the oldest beer garden in the country, for our elf shenanigans including: Snowball fights, costume contest (pro tip: Buddy uses this to plan his winter fashions, so think homemade, creative, and never before seen to have your best chance of winning!), and Narwhal ring toss. We’ll make our way back to the State Theatre for the movie screening, more holiday mischief and caroling!
The distance between State Theatre and Scholz’s is 0.8 miles.
