Winter Wonderland Market & Beer Garden to open on Dec. 6th at Stamford

The Winter Wonderland in Stamford is intended to celebrate and unite local residents and professionals through a diverse and expanded slate of programming. This will run from Friday, Dec. 6 through Tuesday, Jan. 1, 2020. An anchor of the Winter Wonderland activation is a pop-up Winter Beer Garden, which Mill River tapped Half Full Brewery to operate. This 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.
