The festive “après-skate” inspired garden will feature an enclosed bar serving Half Full beer, cider and wine and will be housed in a 6,000 square foot tent alongside the Steven & Alexandra Cohen Skating Center in Mill River Park. In addition to the Winter Beer Garden, the tent will include a new kid zone with special visits from Santa, a holiday market and a lounge space.“We were thrilled with how we were able to help Mill River activate the park last year. Building on this success, this year we wanted to raise the bar by making the tent and our programming an even bigger and better environment for the entire family and community to enjoy this holiday season," said Conor Horrigan, Founder & Chief Hoptimist at Half Full Brewery. “We are grateful for the opportunity to bring the Stamford community together through unique beers, experiences and places.”The Winter Wonderland will be open Fridays from 4 to 10 p.m. ET, Saturdays from 12 p.m. to 10 p.m. ET, and Sundays from 12 p.m. to 8 p.m. ET.Below is a list of currently scheduled events* that will take place in the pop-up space:Friday, Dec. 6thGRAND OPENING: Half Full Brewery’s Winter Beer GardenSaturday, Dec. 7thHoliday Movie Marathon including classics like Elf, Home Alone and National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation.Saturday, Dec. 14thSilent Disco Party.
