Granite Coast and Create & Escape Partner for Holiday Fun
November 22, 2024

Granite Coast Brewing Company and Create & Escape DIY Workshops are partnering to offer fun family-friendly character interactions and photo opportunities.

During Peabody’s Holiday Stroll on Saturday, November 30th from 1pm-5pm, guests are invited to drop-in free of charge at Granite Coast Brewing and take advantage of the Elfie Selfie Station just in time for sending holiday cards. Then, pop over a few stores down to Create & Escape to craft up a keepsake at their Ornament Bar Crafting Station. Both events are drop-in.

In addition, families can visit Santa at both locations. On Sunday, December 1st from 9am-12pm and on Thursday, December 5th from 6pm-8pm, families and dogs are welcome to sit with Santa at Granite Coast Brewing during their Bark and Brews events. Granite Coast Brewing Owner/Head Brewer Jeff Marquis noted, “This year we had to add a second date for our Bark and Brews due to last year’s overwhelming demand.” In addition, Create & Escape will host Breakfast and Crafts with Santa on Saturday, December 21st at 10am. Guests are invited to dive into some crafty fun, meet Santa, and join in a holiday sing-along. All Santa events require pre-registration.

Two more characters will be available for meet-and-greets as well. On Sunday, December 8th, Create & Escape is hosting Grinch Crafts at Granite Coast Brewing. Pre-registered guests can craft a ceramic or ornament and meet the Grinch! Create & Escape Owner Wendy Latoff noted, “This event gets so big that we had to move over to Granite Coast for the room!” Lastly on Sunday, December 15th, pop in with your family and pets for Buddy at the Brewery and meet the elf himself for a fun and free photo opportunity.
