About
El Paso, TX
Ugly Sweater Pub Crawls
El Paso’s Ugly Sweater Pub Crawl brings the Sun City’s unique border culture and Texas desert holiday spirit to the holiday sweater tradition. Downtown El Paso and the Sunset Heights neighborhood are the heart of El Paso nightlife and on ugly sweater night the combination of border culture, the Franklin Mountain backdrop, and the genuine El Paso community creates a holiday celebration that has the unique Tex-Mex character that only this city possesses.
Our El Paso route moves through downtown and the surrounding bar district, stopping at venues that represent the full quality of what El Paso’s bar scene has built. The ugly sweater competition in El Paso draws on the creative energy of a border community that has developed one of the most distinctive cultural identities in Texas and the entries reflect that Tex-Mex creativity applied to the holiday sweater tradition.
December in El Paso is mild and desert-dry, typically ranging from 35 to 55 degrees at night. The Chihuahuan Desert winter is brief and the Franklin Mountains backdrop under the clear desert sky in December creates a holiday pub crawl setting of unique grandeur. El Paso’s holiday season has the warmth and festivity of both American and Mexican Christmas traditions.
Our hosts manage the El Paso route with local knowledge. Specials are confirmed, wristbands handle entry at every stop, and the ugly sweater contest brings Sun City creativity to the holiday season.
