Grimace Is Coming to the Tri-State, and He's Making a Stop in Evansville

If you want to feel some nostalgia, or maybe you have kids who are big fans of Grimace, I have some news for you that you’ll want to add to your calendar.

The purple McDonald’s character is hitting the road as part of the Giddy-Up Grimace Tour; bands aren’t the only people that can go on tour! Grimace is making several stops around the Tri-State.

McDonald’s says the tour is all about celebrating local communities and its beverage lineup. Bobby and I tried the beverage lineup, and they are worth the hype for bringing an iconic McDonald's character on tour.

During each stop, families can grab some McDonald’s, take part in family-friendly activities, and even meet and eat with Grimace. There will also be a spin-to-win game featuring exclusive Giddy-Up Grimace Tour merchandise and giveaways.

And if you’re in the Evansville area, you won’t have to travel far to catch him.

Grimace is scheduled to make his Evansville appearance October 6 from 5 to 7 p.m. at the McDonald’s at 3700 North First Avenue.

There are also stops planned in other communities throughout the area:

  • September 28: 149 East Highway 66 in Tell City
  • September 30: 450 Highway 231 South in Jasper
  • October 1: 1300 West Main Street in Carmi
  • October 6: 3700 North First Avenue in Evansville

The Giddy-Up Grimace Tour runs through November 19, with Grimace making appearances at select Greater Tennessee Valley McDonald’s locations.

So, if you’ve got a little one who has always wanted to meet the big purple guy, this could be their chance.

And come on, wouldn’t it be a great conversation starter to say you got to go to McDonald’s and have lunch with Grimace. That’s just fun!

Do You Remember These Vintage McDonald's Glasses?

Long before we had the luxury of finding collectibles on the internet, we had to remember to get to our local McDonald's every week to get the next collectible glass. Yes, back in the late 70s and into the 1990s, McDonald's offered some really cool glasses. Here's a look at some of them that I found on eBay.
