White Elephant
Gift Exchange
Join us on Thursday, December 11th at 7 PM in The Pub for our annual White Elephant Gift Exchange — a fun, festive night of surprises and plenty of laughs.
Bring a wrapped item from home you no longer want (the older… the uglier… the funnier… the better!) and an appetizer or dessert to share.
Come in your best ugly holiday sweater — we’ll be awarding a special prize!
We can’t wait to celebrate the season with you at the IACES! 🎁☘️
A Very Irish
Festivus
It’s time for a little laughter, a little venting, and a whole lot of Festivus spirit at the Irish American Club East Side!
Join us on Friday, December 19th — doors open at 6 PM — for an evening packed with classic Festivus traditions: the Airing of Grievances, the Festivus Pole, and of course, plenty of Ugly Sweaters.
Starting December 1st, drop your written grievances into the Festivus Mailbox in The Pub, and we’ll share them together during the Grand Reading at 7 PM. Bring a dessert to share, show off your most outrageous sweater, and enjoy a night that’s equal parts hilarious and heartwarming.
It’s Festivus for the rest of us — and we can’t wait to celebrate it with you!
