UNFILTERED Gen5: Pass the Gravy and Please Shut Up

About This Event

Every family has one: the uncle with opinions, the nosy cousin, the casserole nobody asked for but everyone must praise. Thanksgiving is a mixed feast of gratitude and a high-stakes test of patience, tolerance, and endurance, with a turkey in the middle.

Join us around the fire on the Mammoth patio for an evening of true stories from storytellers who have lived to tell the tale. Disastrous recipes, unwanted politically charged discussions, awkward toasts, and the inevitable family drama that surfaces, along with the canned cranberry sauce.

Come hungry for human interaction and for genuine heartfelt stories. Bring a friend, bring your sense of humor, and, yes, your favorite blanket. We're getting cozy around the fire(s) with good humans, signature cocktails (and mocktails), and if you're feeling adventurous, bring the s'mores fixings.

And our nonprofit partner for Gen5 is the HEALTHY HOMES COALITION OF WEST MICHIGAN. They're keeping kids in our community from hurting. Learn more HERE.

Seating is limited. Arrive early, and no, you cannot sit next to the exit.
