We are hosting an indoor/outdoor Community Market every second Saturday thru the end of the gift giving season and beyond!

Here are the dates:

Greetings Vendors and Shoppers,

We’re excited to share that we’re hosting Swap Meet/Flea Markets. They will be biweekly indoor/outdoor Swap Meets every other Saturday from 12:00 PM to 5:00 PM—and we’d love for you to be part of it!

Our goal is to build a recurring community hub where locals can gather, shop, and connect, while also giving vendors a consistent, reliable place to grow their independent businesses.

No vendor setup fees – it’s completely free to participate.
Free entry for the community – encouraging strong foot traffic.

Indoors weather-proof option – so everyone can sell and shop comfortably.

Recurring opportunity – we encourage vendors to return as often as they’d like so the event can grow into a lively, consistent marketplace.

If you’re interested in joining us as a vendor, drop us an email:

[email protected]

We’ll get you on the list for our events (and future dates, if you’d like).

We’d love to have you involved in helping us make this Swap Meet a staple for the community.

Cheers, MacLeod's

This Halloween season Revelry Theatre brings Shakespeare back to his roots; raucous, raw, and right among the people, with three special nights of Hamlet at MacLeod's

Our British-style pub and industrial stage will transform into Elsinore itself; a place of candlelight, conspiracy, and just enough mischief to make the Bard proud. Sip a pint share a laugh (or a shiver), and let Hamlet's ghosts and soliloquies wash over you in Globe Theatre fashion.

A toast to Johnny!
Our MacLeod barman becomes Laertes
(And it's bloody brilliant)

Come Celebrate the 266th Birthday of Scotland's Poet: Robert Burns

Get ready to revel in an unforgettable night at the brewery as we celebrate the legendary Robert Burns on Burns Night! Join us on January 25th at 6 PM for an evening filled with traditional Scottish food, traditional music, and, of course, our own Scottish beer! Bring your friends, don your best tartan attire, and prepare for a night of poetry, dancing, and toasts to the Bard himself. We'll be serving up traditional Haggis, Neeps & Tatties [haggis, mashed turnips, mashed potatoes] to the bravest of you. Alastair will be reciting the famous "Address to a Haggis" and the "Immortal Memory" will be delivered by Ricky Simpson.

MacLeod will honor Robert Burns with:

--Traditional Scottish cuisine

--Readings of The Address To The Haggis and The Immortal Memory
--Bagpipes, and some of our bard's famous songs
--Special release of a Scottish Ale, oak aged with Ardbeg Scotch Whisky
--Traditional Scottish Attire Encouraged [kilts, tartan]

Robert Burns, often referred to as the national poet of Scotland, was born on January 25, 1759, in Alloway, Ayrshire. He is celebrated for his contributions to Scottish literature, particularly in the genres of poetry and song. Burns wrote in the Scots language, as well as in English, and is best known for works such as "Auld Lang Syne," "Tam o' Shanter," and "To a Mouse." His poetry often reflects themes of love, nature, and the struggles of the common people. Burns' legacy continues to be honored through various events, including Burns Night, celebrated annually on January 25 to commemorate his birthday and contributions to Scottish culture. He passed away on July 21, 1796, but remains a significant figure in literature and Scottish history.

Our festival includes brews from these amazing friends:

Benny Boy
Eureka
Frogtown
Lawless
Red Engine
Sage Brews
Santa Cruz
Tarantula Hill
and of course MacLeod

We'll also have guest speakers and a festive atmosphere! Vote for your favorite!
