✨GRISWOLD FEST + OUR 4TH ANNUAL TREE LIGHTING🎄
One day. Two Pet’s holiday traditions. A whole lot of Christmas. ❤️
We’re bringing together the ridiculous, over-the-top fun of Griswold Fest with one of our favorite traditions of the year — the 4th Annual Tree Lighting Ceremony at Petrifying Springs Biergarten!
Come spend the day with us, bring the family, grab your favorite Christmas Vacation costume and settle in for a full day of holiday fun.
🎬 National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation playing ALL DAY on the big screen
🍺 Seasonal beers
🥨 Bavarian pretzels
🍷 Warm Glühwein (German Mulled Wine)
🚚 Food trucks serving up plenty to eat throughout the day
And then from 3–6PM, the holiday magic really begins…
🎅 Photos with Santa & Mrs. Claus
🦌 LIVE REINDEER
🎶 Christmas caroling at 4PM
🎄 TREE LIGHTING AT 5PM
And because it wouldn’t be Griswold Fest without a little Cousin Eddie…
Wear your best National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation costume! 😂🎄
Clark. Ellen. Cousin Eddie. Aunt Bethany. Todd & Margo. We want to see them all.
🏆 Best Dressed Costume awarded at 6PM!
But the part of this day that means the most to us is giving back to the community that has given Pet’s so much support.
❤️ ALL-DAY HOLIDAY DONATION DRIVE ❤️
We’ll be collecting donations to help local families in need this holiday season.
And every beer you enjoy helps, too.
Pet’s will donate $1 from EVERY BEER PURCHASED throughout the day to support local families in need in conjunction with Kenosha County’s holiday donation efforts.
So come have a beer, warm up with some Glühwein, eat something delicious, meet the reindeer, take a picture with Santa, quote Christmas Vacation entirely too many times and gather around the tree with your family, friends and neighbors.
Because at the end of the day, that’s what this season — and this little Biergarten community — is really all about. ❤️
Christmas lights.
Cold beer.
Warm drinks.
Good food.
Ridiculous costumes.
Santa.
Reindeer.
Giving back.
And one big community gathered around the tree. 🎄
We can’t think of a better way to kick off the Christmas season at Pet’s.
Grab your family. Grab your friends. Grab your Cousin Eddie robe.
We’ll see you at the Biergarten. 🍻🎅🎄
