Mark Your Calendars: Last Call Holiday Market Returns in the (St.) Nick of Time!
MINNEAPOLIS, MN — After a five-year hiatus, Bench Pressed Letterpress and The Bitter Buffalo are thrilled to present the much-anticipated return of Last Call, a vibrant holiday craft market tailored for holiday procrastinators and those looking to entertain family and friends in the final days leading up to Christmas! Last Call features a meticulously curated lineup of talented local makers and artists in a family-friendly environment taking place Sunday, December 22, 2024, from 3 to 8 PM at the Hook and Ladder Theater & Lounge in South Minneapolis. Admission is free and open to the public; no RSVP is necessary.
“Bench Pressed and The Bitter Buffalo are thrilled to be bringing back Last Call after 5 long years of pandemic-induced hibernation,” said Jane Shannon, co-owner of Bench Pressed. “We’re so excited to share some of our favorite local artists in a legendary South Minneapolis venue like Hook & Ladder.”
“JD Vance is an ass,” added Shannon in reference to Vance’s recent, disrespectful remarks describing Minneapolis as “a city in decline” during a press conference held right next door to the historic Hook & Ladder Theater. “We see the existence and persistence of Last Call at this time, in our neighborhood, as proof that the Vice President-elect has no idea what he’s talking about.”
For those in the market to make warm and truly lasting holiday memories, look for Golden Boie’s elegant permanent jewelry offerings, FCFS tintype portraits by Blkk Hand, plus artists from Sea Wolf Tattoo will be on hand with flash tattoos designed specially for the day.
Featured vendors include:
Expect a full roster of crowd-pleasing interactive activities, including a visit from Santa Reggie (Minneapolis’ premier Santa), THC Seltzer Sampling (from event sponsors Chill State by Fair State Brewing, Flavor Pixels by Insight Brewing, Zenn by Venn Brewing, Acre by 56 Brewing, Squoze by Sociable Cider Werks, and Smazey by Lupulin Brewing), drinks poured by Hook and Ladder’s ace bar staff, food by Wrecktangle Pizza and Lonchería los Amigos, and a free DIY Gift Wrapping Station so you can (literally) wrap up all your last-minute shopping!
Mark your calendars, grab your friends and family, and join us for an unforgettable holiday market experience. Last Call is ready to spread holiday cheer and offer a fresh, creative spin on last-minute shopping.
