So what happens after the bird burns down to the ground? Your buzz fades to black like the soot left behind by the phoenix. Your feeling like the night can’t end, not now… Not ever. It’s time to strut your sweet ass over to Bridge Street where the real party is about to start!
According to www.firebirdfestival.com, there will be legions of street performers up and down Bridge, called buskers, performing for tips. While I don’t condone giving any street people money, the buskers may actually amuse / surprise / entertain you. Please support these local artists by tossing them a few duckets / cigs / bagels / whatever.
Iron Hill Brewery has created a spiced holiday ale, called “Winter Warmer” which will be tapped on tap Saturday to celebrate the festival. The Winter Warmer was brewed with cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, clove, vanilla, galangal, and mahlab. Tim Stumpf (Head Brewer) said, “It tastes like a gingerbread cookie!” Others beers available that day / night include: Nut Brown ale, Chocolate Stout, Forbidden Fruit, Imperial IPA, and Peach Wheat.
There have been mumurs on this website of a special “celebrity” guest performing at the Pickering Creek Inn. While this cannot be confirmed or denied, it does appear that they will have live music by Left Foot First and a $3.00 well drink specials, starting at 8:00pm.
At Molly Maguire’s, you can usually count on a rawkus time and Saturday night is no exception. Midnight Social takes to the stage at 10pm.
So you have options. I’m sure there are many more, but most of my queries to bar managers went unanswered. In any case, go out and party. Celebrate your town, your burning mascot… Rise from the ashes, rise to the occasion!
