We think that under the right lights, an elk can look a lot like a reindeer. And those lights are Christmas lights. Grab your ugly sweater, fasten your red nose, and come help us kick off the holiday season as early as we were allowed to at the Elks Temple Holiday Brewfest. Is it too early? No! This event will feature holiday ales and ciders from around the Northwest, live music, reindeer games, gifts from Santa for those in ugly sweaters, and other festive libations as we dive into the holiday season in style. Don't miss your chance to get into the holiday spirit and holiday spirits at Elks Temple.

Live music * 2-8pm
Dancer and Prancer * 2-4:30pm
My Guilty Pleasure * 5:30-8pm

Santa * 4:30-5:30pm

We are My Guilty Pleasure (MGP), a high-energy 80s tribute band that creates a legendary 80s rock' n roll party experience wherever they play. My Guilty Pleasure, with incredible vocals and polarizing guitars, unleashes the inner rocker and invites patrons of all ages to jam out to the electrifying tunes that defined a generation. Covering hits from Rock, New Wave, and a bit of Funk keeps the beat moving and dares audiences to sing along and get on the dance floor all night.

MGP has been bringing the Party experience throughout the South Sound since 2018. From Poulsbo to Centralia, MGP has become a crowd favorite and will light that fire within you and keep you guessing all night long about what is next! MGP is a "guilty pleasure" you simply shouldn't ignore.

Dancer and Prancer are three young Seattleites whose wild combination of Christmas music and 1960's surf instrumentals have filled dance floors across the Pacific Northwest every December since 2007! Their reverbed renditions of Christmas classics like "Here Comes Santa Claus" and "O Christmas Tree" delight the young and old alike, from Christmas tree lightings at Westlake Center & a sold out show at the Showbox to a live "on air" session on KEXP, and are guaranteed to spread comfort & joy wherever they perform!

Dancer and Prancer's best-selling debut ten song album titled "From Us To You" is available now on limited green vinyl LP & the popular "digital" formats.

"There's this Christmas surf band called Dancer and Prancer that's really great."-Shana Cleveland, La Luz
