Grand Bazaar Shops invites guests to get their holiday party started by its Festivus Gathering on Dec. 23.

Guests who participate in the Festivus feat of strength will receive free Starbucks drink samples and Grand Bazaar Shops coupon books.

The Festivus gathering will take place on Wednesday, Dec. 23 from noon to 4 p.m. and activities will be offered in the center’s Grand Allée.
