What/Why:

#YelpHoopla17



What better way to kick off the holiday season than by getting holly and jolly with Yelp New Jersey at Yelp's Holiday Hoopla?! Join us at the Hahne & Co Atrium in Newark on Friday 12/8 for a night that promises to be filled with epic eats, treats, sips, beats, and more. This is going to be our biggest bash of the year, so seriously, don't miss out.



Here's What To Expect:



ATTIRE:



While this is by no means a 'fancy soirée', be sure to keep things a lil bit classy and avoid wearing sweats and workout clothes. Feel free to get into the holiday spirit and wear whatever makes you feel the most festive!
