Dec 17th (Tues) Metzy's Cantina Las Posadas Navideñas Dinner

Las Posadas Navideñas—The Christmas Inns—is a nine-day religious observance meant to honor Mary and Joseph's quest for shelter. Every night from Dec. 16-24, neighbors gather to recreate the Holy Family's experience. They dress up, sing, pray and celebrate the coming anniversary of the Savior's birth. After every Posada people gather at a big party with Tamales, Champurrado drink and the Piñata. For desserts you will see Buñuelos and warm cinnamon rice pudding.

Metzy's has decided to host a dinner this December 17th, to honor and observe the Las Posadas Navideñas with a fun and engaging meal. Tickets can be purchased until December 12th at the Cantina, or for a slight added fee, tickets can be purchased here on Eventbrite until our tickets are sold out (we are selling a limited # of tickets, so buy now!).

The event will start at 6:00 and will go until 8:00pm. Early arrivers will enjoy a welcome drink and chips/guac station for self serving. We will ask everyone to sit at 6:30 to start serving dinner and get the 1st tequila tasting started. We will be offering three tequilas throughout the evening in which Jason Petrou will be giving detailed explanations/ information related to the tequilas.
