SUMMARY:Camp Cocktail: Havana
DESCRIPTION:At the height of America’s Golden Age of Cocktails\, Prohibition shuttered the doors of drinking establishments. That golden age had fueled the rise of a cadre of professional bartenders.

SUMMARY:THING NW Market
DESCRIPTION:We are thrilled to be back at the PNW’s newest and coolest music festival. \nThe Market is magical and we cannot wait. There’s music\, art\, yoga\, and BADASS BARWARE! We’re talking 1950s travel bars and everything else to support and enhance your imbibing experience. Market hours are Fri.\, Sat.\, and Sun.\, noon to 8pm. \nWhat is THING NW? \n“THING” is a 3-day festival of music and arts taking place August 26-28\, 2022 at historic Fort Worden in Port Townsend\, WA. The event features a tightly curated lineup of diverse performers with an emphasis on fresh discoveries and a vision to create an environment where all are welcomed and represented. This includes a distinctive mix of music\, comedy\, visual arts\, speakers\, and highlights from STG’s signature education and community programs. Fort Worden is a former military base (and filming location of An Officer and a Gentleman) encompassing 434 acres with 12 miles of forested hiking trails\, 2 miles of walkable saltwater beaches and commanding views of the Puget Sound. The historic property has evolved into a lifelong learning center in the magnificent setting of Port Townsend\, WA- dubbed “the Paris of the Pacific Northwest” by Sunset Magazine. The festival features 4 stages including 2 outdoor stages\, McCurdy Pavilion (former balloon hangar converted into a theatre) and the Wheeler Theatre (intimate art deco venue). The festival sold out in its inaugural year (2019) garnering a warm response from the community. \n“A pretty relaxed affair\, and that’s not a bad thing. In fact\, that’s part of the allure.” –The Stranger \nThis requires a ticket and some planning. There’s camping and accommodations in beautiful Port Townsend. ALL THE DETAILS ARE AT THE FESTIVAL WEBSITE HERE!  \n

SUMMARY:Camp Cocktail: The Drinks of New Orleans
DESCRIPTION:Simon and Renée felt that camp shouldn’t be just for kids\, so we created a series of classes: Camp Cocktail. Each “camp” is about the history and stories of three great American cities. Our inspiration came from Tennessee Williams\, who famously wrote\, “There are only three great cities in the U.S.: New York\, San Francisco\, and New Orleans. All the rest are Cleveland.” We don’t know whether Williams had any cocktails in mind\, but many\, no numerous classic cocktails came to mind for a mixologist and a historian.  \nEvery camp has activities\, and ours are stirring and shaking classic cocktails while learning the stories behind the drinks. New Orleans is the heart of American cocktail culture. The drinks created in NOLA are the foundation for the classics of the Golden Age of the Cocktail. Develop your palate and learn the mixologist’s techniques for making these drinks from the Big Easy. Feast on appetizers\, and take home your camp recipe booklet to continue your cocktail adventures at home.  \nThis interactive cocktail class combines history and mixology. Hogwash master mixologist Simon Moorby walks guests step-by-step through the making of 3 drinks. Cocktail historian\, Renée Cebula of Raising the Bar\, tells the stories of how these drinks represent the history of New Orleans.  \nClass set-up includes bartending stations with all the necessary tools\, fresh-made and prepped ingredients\, and vintage glassware. Shake\, swirl\, and sip in style as you hear the stories\, learn the techniques\, and enjoy the drinks.  \nTickets are $65 per person. Your ticket includes three crafted drinks\, mixology and history lessons\, appetizers\, and a souvenir camp booklet.  \nMust be 21 and over. Each class is limited to 30 guests.  \nIf you have questions\, please email Renée at owner@raisingthebarnw.com.  \nFind us on Instagram: Raising the Bar \nCheck us out on Facebook: Hogwash Whiskey Den
