What’s On Deck
What’s On Deck
Here’s what’s coming up next at Holy Grounds Food Yard & Mercantile. Check back for updated dates, times, menus, vendor details, and any weather changes.
🌺 Pig Out at the Yard
Pig Out at the Yard is still on the ideas board, but we’re moving the date so everyone can enjoy it when the weather feels better.
The plan is still a Hawaiian-inspired community pig roast with island music, tropical fun, and a whole pig roasting outside on a rotisserie where guests can see the action.
Hawaiian shirts, grass skirts, floral prints, leis, flip-flops, and vacation-mode outfits will be encouraged once the new date is set.
🏈 Sunday Football at the Yard
We’ll be showing the noon Sunday football games at the Yard during the regular season.
Bring the family, grab lunch, hang out, and catch the game in a relaxed outdoor setting.
Game availability may vary by broadcast schedule.
