The holiday season is here, and there's no better time to celebrate than with Granada Theater! We're thrilled to share some exciting news about our neighborhood festivities, incredible savings opportunities, and special gift offerings that'll make your holidays absolutely magical.

Whether you're planning an intimate gathering, looking for the perfect gift, or simply want to soak up some holiday spirit, we've got you covered. From our participation in the beloved Holidays on Hennepin celebration to our amazing Black Friday deals and holiday gift card specials, there's something for everyone to enjoy this festive season.

Holidays on Hennepin: Your Neighborhood Holiday Destination

This year, Hennepin Avenue is transforming into a winter wonderland, and Granada Theater is proud to be part of the magic! The Holidays on Hennepin celebration brings our entire neighborhood together for a month-long festival of lights, entertainment, and community spirit.

From Black Friday through New Year's Day, you can pick up a free Holiday Passport from participating businesses (including us!) and embark on a festive journey through the area. This isn't just about pretty decorations: though those are absolutely stunning. It's about creating memories, supporting local businesses, and experiencing the unique charm that makes our corner of Minneapolis so special.

As you explore with your Holiday Passport, you'll discover dazzling light displays that'll have you reaching for your camera, cozy spots for warming up with seasonal beverages, and unique shopping opportunities perfect for finding those one-of-a-kind gifts. Plus, participating businesses are offering special deals and experiences you won't find anywhere else.

The beauty of Holidays on Hennepin is how it showcases the diverse character of our neighborhood. You might start your evening with dinner and drinks at Granada Theater, then stroll through the illuminated streets, pop into local shops, and discover hidden gems you never knew existed. It's like having a holiday festival right in your backyard!

Black Friday Savings That Actually Matter

Let's talk about our Black Friday deals: because who doesn't love a good bargain, especially during the holidays? This year, we're offering substantial savings on private event rentals that'll make your holiday celebrations both memorable and budget-friendly.

Our Black Friday savings aren't just token discounts. We're talking about real value on private event rentals that can transform your holiday gatherings from ordinary to extraordinary. Whether you're planning a corporate holiday party, a family reunion, an anniversary celebration, or even a unique holiday wedding reception, our discounted rental rates make it easier than ever to host your event in style.

Think about it: instead of cramming everyone into your living room or booking some generic conference room, you could be celebrating in a historic venue with character, charm, and all the amenities you need for an unforgettable event. Our space offers the perfect blend of intimate atmosphere and professional service that makes every gathering feel special.

The timing couldn't be better either. Black Friday kicks off the holiday season, and with our savings, you can book your December or January event at a fraction of the regular cost. That means more money in your pocket for catering, decorations, or whatever else makes your celebration perfect.

Don't wait too long though: our calendar fills up fast during the holidays, and these Black Friday rates are only available for a limited time. If you've been on the fence about hosting a private event, this is your chance to make it happen without breaking the bank.

Holiday Gift Cards: The Perfect Present with a Bonus

Here's where things get really exciting. Our holiday gift card program is designed to spread joy not just to the recipient, but to the gift-giver too. When you purchase a $100 gift card, we're throwing in an additional $25 gift card absolutely free. That's like getting 25% extra value on every gift card purchase!

This deal is perfect for so many situations. Got a foodie friend who's always talking about trying new restaurants? A gift card to Granada Theater gives them the flexibility to enjoy our Spanish-inspired menu whenever they want. Know someone who loves live entertainment? They can use their gift card toward tickets for our upcoming shows and events.

But here's the really smart part: that bonus $25 card is yours to keep. So while you're giving a thoughtful gift to someone else, you're also treating yourself to a future visit. It's like holiday shopping that rewards you for being generous!

These gift cards never expire and can be used for anything we offer: dining, drinks, private events, or entertainment. They're also perfect for last-minute gifts because you can pick them up right here at the venue or arrange for convenient delivery.

Holiday Entertainment That Brings Magic to Life

The holiday season at Granada Theater is packed with special events and entertainment that capture the magic of the season. We're hosting intimate candlelight concerts that create an enchanting atmosphere you simply can't find anywhere else. There's something absolutely magical about experiencing live music by candlelight: it transforms even familiar songs into something extraordinary.

Our "Taste the Movies" series is also featuring holiday classics that'll transport you back to childhood memories while creating new ones. These aren't just movie screenings: they're immersive experiences that engage all your senses and make you feel like you're part of the story.

For those who love a good cocktail with their entertainment, our holiday-themed drinks menu features seasonal flavors that perfectly complement whatever show or event you're attending. From warming winter spices to festive fruit combinations, every sip adds to the holiday atmosphere.

Private Events with Holiday Flair

Speaking of private events, there's something extra special about hosting your holiday celebration in a venue that already has character and charm built right in. Granada Theater provides the perfect backdrop for intimate holiday gatherings that feel both elegant and welcoming.

Our private event packages can be customized to match your vision perfectly. Want a Spanish-inspired holiday menu? We've got you covered. Prefer a more traditional approach? No problem. Need specific entertainment or special arrangements? Consider it done.

The beauty of hosting your holiday event here is that you get all the benefits of professional event planning without losing that personal touch. Your guests will be impressed by the unique atmosphere, but more importantly, they'll remember how good they felt being there.

Plus, with our Black Friday savings, you can afford to add those special touches that really make an event memorable. Maybe it's upgraded catering, special entertainment, or custom decorations: whatever makes your celebration uniquely yours.

Making Memories This Holiday Season

The holidays are about more than just gifts and decorations: they're about creating moments that matter with the people you care about. Whether you're exploring Holidays on Hennepin with family, enjoying a romantic evening at one of our candlelight concerts, or hosting a celebration that brings everyone together, Granada Theater is here to help make this holiday season unforgettable.

Our Black Friday savings on private event rentals are available for a limited time, so if you're thinking about hosting something special, now's the time to make it happen.

A Historic Venue with Modern Holiday Magic

Granada Theater isn't just any event space – we're a piece of Minneapolis history that's been bringing people together for decades. Our historic architecture provides a stunning backdrop that photographs beautifully and creates an atmosphere that's both elegant and welcoming. There's something magical about celebrating the holidays in a space that has hosted countless celebrations before yours.

The moment your guests step through our doors, they'll feel the warmth and character that only a truly historic venue can provide. Our carefully preserved architectural details, combined with modern amenities and technology, create the perfect blend of old-world charm and contemporary convenience.

Spanish-Inspired Flavors That Warm the Soul

What sets Granada Theater apart during the holiday season is our incredible Spanish-inspired cuisine and craft cocktails. While other venues might offer generic catering options, we create memorable dining experiences that perfectly complement the festive atmosphere.

Our culinary team specializes in warm, comforting dishes that feel both sophisticated and approachable – exactly what you want for a holiday gathering. Think rich, flavorful tapas perfect for mingling, hearty entrees that satisfy without being too heavy, and desserts that make everyone forget about their diet until January.

And let's talk about our bar program – our mixologists craft cocktails that capture the spirit of the season while maintaining that distinctive Spanish flair we're known for. From traditional sangrias with seasonal fruit to innovative holiday-inspired creations, every drink tells a story and adds to the celebration.

Versatile Spaces for Every Type of Holiday Celebration

One of the things we love most about hosting holiday events is seeing how different groups use our versatile spaces to create their perfect celebration. We're not a one-size-fits-all venue – we adapt to your vision.

Intimate Gatherings (20-50 people): Our cozy spaces are perfect for family celebrations, small office parties, or friend groups who want something more special than a restaurant but more intimate than a large venue. The Spanish-inspired decor and warm lighting create an atmosphere that encourages conversation and connection.

Medium Events (50-150 people): This sweet spot allows for a cocktail-style reception, seated dinner, or combination of both. You have room for entertainment, dancing, and all the holiday traditions your group loves, while still maintaining that intimate feel.

Large Celebrations (150+ people): When you want to go all out, we can accommodate bigger celebrations that bring together extended families, entire companies, or large friend groups. Our larger spaces can handle elaborate decorations, live entertainment, and all the bells and whistles you want for a truly memorable holiday event.

Creating Holiday Traditions That Last

There's something special about establishing new holiday traditions, and choosing the right venue can make all the difference. We've hosted everything from annual family reunions that started as one-time celebrations to corporate parties that have become the most anticipated event of the year.

Our experienced event team understands that holiday events aren't just parties – they're opportunities to create lasting memories. We work with you to incorporate personal touches, family traditions, and company culture into every aspect of your celebration. Want to include a special family recipe in the menu? Need space for a white elephant gift exchange? Looking to incorporate your company's values into the event theme? We make it happen.

November Booking Benefits Beyond the Discount

Besides the obvious financial advantage of our Black Friday discount, booking your holiday event in November comes with several other perks:

Prime Date Selection: December dates fill up fast, but November bookers get first pick of all available dates. Want that perfect Saturday evening in mid-December? The earlier you book, the more likely you are to get your ideal date and time.

More Planning Time: Booking early gives you more time to perfect every detail. You can take your time choosing menu options, finalizing guest lists, and planning special touches without the stress of last-minute decisions.

Better Vendor Availability: If you need additional services like photography, entertainment, or decorations, booking early ensures better availability and pricing from our preferred vendor partners.

The Complete Holiday Event Experience

When you choose Granada Theater for your holiday celebration, you're not just renting a space – you're partnering with a team that's passionate about creating exceptional experiences. From the initial planning conversation through the last dance of the night, we're with you every step of the way.

Our event coordinators have years of experience creating successful holiday celebrations, and they know all the little details that can make or break an event. They'll help you navigate everything from menu timing to entertainment logistics, ensuring your event runs smoothly while you actually get to enjoy the celebration.

Spanish Warmth Meets Holiday Spirit

There's something uniquely magical about combining Spanish hospitality with holiday celebration traditions. Our venue naturally creates an atmosphere that's both festive and welcoming, formal enough for corporate events yet warm enough for family gatherings.

The Spanish influence shows up in everything from our architectural details to our approach to hospitality. We believe celebrations should be joyful, inclusive, and memorable – values that align perfectly with both Spanish culture and the holiday spirit.
