Holiday Sip and Shop at Upstart & Crow

Getting all your holiday shopping done in one magical night — cocktail in hand? The dream!

Join us on Thursday, Dec. 12 for a sip and shop night at Upstart & Crow. We’ll be fully stocked with the best and buzziest books and gifts for the season, while also offering beautiful cocktails, wine and beer while you browse. Let us help you choose the perfect gifts for everyone on your list. Twinkle lights will be in full effect.

Tickets are $20 and include a festive drink of your choice, snacks and some bookish door prizes. Non-alcoholic drinks available! When booking, please choose one of two options: the 6 p.m. or 8 p.m. seating.

We hope to see you there, and THANK YOU for shopping local this season. Bookstore proceeds support our non-profit programming, such as writer residencies, free writing workshops, and more.
