Get ready for a day of gnome-tastic fun right here in Grayslake! Beer Bazaar is thrilled to host our International Gnome Day Party on Saturday, June 21st, 2025, from 11 AM to 10 PM. This un-gnome-lievable event, in partnership with Raindrops On Roses Candles, will be packed with delicious beer, whimsical costumes, cinematic adventures, delightful scents, and creative crafting. It’s the perfect way to celebrate a truly unique holiday!
We’re bringing the magic of the gnome-themed Chouffe Brewery all the way to Grayslake with a special tapping of their delightful Belgian blond beer, La Chouffe, available all day long from 11 AM to 10 PM. Enjoy this signature brew as you immerse yourself in the gnome festivities.
The gnome fun doesn’t stop there! Unleash your inner garden dweller and participate in our Dress Up as a Gnome Contest, running all day from 11 AM to 10 PM. Stop by Beer Bazaar to show off your most creative gnome attire! We’ll capture your fantastic look with a picture and share it on our social media channels throughout the day. Then, everyone online will have the chance to vote for their favorite gnome. The winner will receive an official “Chouffe Big Gnome” – the ultimate prize for any gnome enthusiast!
Throughout the entire event, we’ll be continuously screening gnome-related movies and TV shows, ensuring a whimsical cinematic backdrop to your day of fun.
From 11 AM to 3 PM, discover the enchanting aroma of “The Garden Gnome” with a special pop-up from Raindrops On Roses Candles. This talented local candle maker will be highlighting our truly unique Beer Bazaar collaboration scent, “The Garden Gnome,” crafted exclusively for this event. It’s the perfect way to bring the magic of the day home with you.
Then, at 4 PM, get your creative juices flowing with our Drafts & Crafts: Paint a Garden Gnome activity, running until 8 PM. Sip on your favorite brew from our taproom while you transform a plain gnome into a colorful masterpiece that you can proudly take home. This hands-on craft is perfect for all skill levels and offers a fun, artistic outlet. Purchase your place for this activity here.
Don’t miss this full day of gnome-tastic fun only at Beer Bazaar! It’s a celebration for the whole family (of gnomes and humans alike!) right here in Grayslake.
