Mendon, Mass. – Galliford’s Restaurant & Tavern is bringing holiday cheer to the middle of summer with the return of its popular Dinner with The Grinch, taking place Wednesday, July 22, and Thursday, July 23, during Southwick’s Zoo’s annual Christmas in July celebration.
Following a day of festive fun at Southwick’s Zoo, guests are invited to continue the celebration with a memorable dining experience featuring a special appearance by The Grinch. Throughout each evening, the beloved holiday character will visit with families, pose for photos, and bring his mischievous personality to the restaurant, creating a one-of-a-kind experience for guests of all ages.
The event has become a favorite tradition during Christmas in July, giving families another opportunity to celebrate the season while enjoying Galliford’s signature Classic New England Fare with a Twist.
“We’re excited to welcome The Grinch back to Galliford’s,” said Steve Paulos, General Manager of Galliford’s. “Christmas in July has become a tradition that so many families look forward to, and Dinner with The Grinch is a fun way to extend that celebration, bringing his mischief along during the summer.”
Dinner with The Grinch will be offered July 22 and 23 only, and reservations are strongly recommended as seating is limited, and this event typically sells out.
Guests are encouraged to reserve their table in advance by visiting Gallifords.com or calling 508-928-0928.
