SPECIAL EVENTS

McGonigel's Mucky Duck presents the Feast of St. Stephen Pub Mass & Boxing Day Celebration.

BOXING DAY / ST STEPHEN'S DAY MASS
11am

With the spirit of Christmas in the air, we remember the Feast of St. Stephen, deacon and martyr of the Church, who was charged with overseeing the distribution of goods to the community. It's also Boxing Day, a traditional British holiday where we remember those less fortunate in our city.

Please bring a donation of food, clothing or blankets that we will give to The Lord of the Streets, in keeping with the Boxing Day tradition of sharing from our wealth to those most in need.

A holy and wholly good celebration!

Pub Mass at noon offered by Bishop C. Andrew "Andy" Doyle to commemorate St. Stephen's feast.

The celebration of Boxing Day, which takes place on December 26 - the feast of St. Stephen, is a part of the holiday season unique to Great Britain. It is on this day that the alms box at every English church is opened and the contents are distributed to the poor. Also, this is the day that servants got the day off to celebrate with their families.

At 1pm, following the Mass, we will open for a festive and traditional lunch.

OPEN MIC
7pm

Each performer gets three songs or 15 minutes on stage. McGonigel's award winning Open Mic, ongoing since 1990, has been hosted by such well respected musicians as Will LeBlanc, Lisa Morales, Michael Stroup and Wayne Wilkerson. Some pretty famous long tall Texans have made the Duck Open Mic their testing ground for new material.

The Duck stage is open for you to present your original compositions or a favorite song made famous by someone else. Comedians, poets, jugglers and mimes also welcome.

Don't be shy. Come on out ~ It's your turn to be a Mucky Duck Open Mic Star. No cover charge.
