The Largest Charity Crawl on the West Coast Returns on
Saturday, Dec. 12th!
Join thousands of Santas, Elves, and Tipsy Reindeer at the 18th Annual SANTA Monica Pub Crawl on Saturday, December 12, 2026 from 5pm-2am!
This beloved city-wide tradition features over 20 of the city’s best bars and restaurants and raises money for the Westside Food Bank to help those in need for the Holidays.
So throw on those Santa hats, shine those menorahs, grab your friends, family, neighbors, and colleagues, and Crawl for a Cause!
Since 2008, the SANTA Monica Pub Crawl has raised enough for HALF A MILLION MEALS for the Westside Food Bank. Help us reach our goal of ONE MILLION MEALS! Every $5 raised feeds 20 people, so every little bit counts.
