La Posada de Imperial
Imperial, the popular taco and tequila restaurant, is inviting the community to join them in celebrating the holiday season with its second annual La Posada de Imperial, a day-long celebration of tradition, festive food and drinks, and joyful giving. Taking place on Friday, December 20, this unique event brings the warmth and charm of traditional Mexican posadas to the heart of Ferndale.
Rooted in Mexican culture, posadas are cherished holiday gatherings filled with food, music, and camaraderie, often featuring processions, piñatas, and warm hospitality. Imperial is recreating this spirit for the Ferndale community, blending cultural tradition with its own lively, modern style. With festive decorations both inside and out, La Posada de Imperial offers a memorable holiday experience.
Guests can look forward to a special menu crafted just for the occasion, including a comforting bowl of Pozole Verde, with shredded chicken or sautéed mushrooms, or a rich Braised Lamb Tamale, wrapped in collard greens and paired with red chile salsa. Other highlights include the Short Rib Walking Taco, served with Fritos, chipotle salsa, and queso chihuahua, and for dessert, the Caramel Apple Empanada dishes up sweet, seasonal flavors. Imperial’s regular menu is also available.
On the drinks side, the holiday spirit shines with options like the “Sleigh It Ain’t So” cocktail, a festive mix of Hornitos Reposado, tangerine, pomegranate, and spiced honey, or the non-alcoholic “Mule-tide Spirit,” featuring ginger molasses syrup and ginger beer.
Throughout the day, Imperial will spread cheer in a variety of ways. Guests will enjoy a festive holiday soundtrack and sing-along, while snagging deals on last-minute shopping with discounted Imperial gift cards and merchandise. A traditional piñata—filled with gift cards, swag, and candy—will be raffled off.
In keeping with the season of giving, Imperial will donate a portion of the event’s proceeds to Forgotten Harvest, supporting efforts to fight food insecurity in the Detroit area.
“La Posada de Imperial is our way of bringing the community together during the holidays,” said owner Sharon LaVoisne. “We’re excited to celebrate with our neighbors and share the joy, flavor, and generosity that this season is all about.”
La Posada de Imperial takes place from 12:00pm until 12:00am on Friday, December 20. Imperial is located at 22828 Woodward Avenue, in Ferndale. For more information, follow Imperial on Instagram at @imperial_ferndale, Facebook at @imperialonwoodward, or visit ImperialFerndale.com.
