The 11th Annual SANTA Monica Pub Crawl
The Largest Charity Crawl on the West Coast Returns on Saturday, Dec. 14th!
It's almost that time of year again---when the frost is on the vine, the stockings are hung by the chimney with care and the silver bells are ringing. Ok, who are we fooling? There is no frost in LA, we all live in apartments and our smartphone ringtones are the only things ringing, BUT each December we DO have the absolute-best-time-you-can-have-on-concrete-under-palm-trees… The 2019 SANTA Monica Pub Crawl is set for Saturday, December 14th!
We are working to make this the best year yet with Beer Gardens, a meet and greet with Santa, a scavenger hunt and a ton of new bars, all while helping the less fortunate put food on the table this Holiday Season. So, dust off those antlers, shine up those menorahs and get ready for the SANTA Monica Pub Crawl!
DETAILS:
The 11th Annual SANTA Monica Pub Crawl will take place on Saturday, December 14, 2019, at 5pm in Santa Monica, CA at the city's best bars and restaurants to raise money for those in need during the holidays through a partnership with Westside Food Bank. With your official SMPC wristband you will receive discounted food and drink specials ranging from $3-8 at the participating locations.
Crawlers are asked to dress in Santa/Holiday attire, either individually or in teams, so that the streets of Santa Monica are filled with merry cheer, such as: Santa, Mrs. Claus, Elves, Reindeer, Carolers and Santa's Helpers. The Pub Crawl will feature multiple routes with bars on Wilshire, The Pier, Third Street Promenade and Main Street.
