Ugly Sweater Pub Crawls
St. Petersburg’s Ugly Sweater Pub Crawl brings the Sunshine City’s extraordinary beach and arts bar culture to the holiday sweater tradition in one of Florida’s most beloved cities. The Grand Central District and Central Avenue are two of the most celebrated bar destinations in the Tampa Bay area and on ugly sweater night the combination of beach community energy, the remarkable St. Pete arts scene, and the warm Florida December creates a holiday celebration that reflects the full quality and creative character of this rapidly growing Florida gem.
Our St. Petersburg route moves through the Grand Central District and Central Avenue, stopping at venues that represent the full quality of what St. Pete’s extraordinary bar scene has become. The ugly sweater competition in St. Pete draws on the creative energy of a city that has developed one of the finest arts communities in Florida and the entries reflect that genuine creative excellence combined with warm Florida holiday spirit.
December in St. Petersburg is warm and beautiful, typically ranging from 58 to 72 degrees at night. The Florida Gulf Coast winter is perfect outdoor weather and Central Avenue at Christmas has a festive creative energy that is completely specific to St. Pete. The combination of artistic creativity and beach warmth makes St. Pete ugly sweater night genuinely excellent.
Our hosts manage the St. Petersburg route with local knowledge. Specials are confirmed, wristbands handle entry at every stop, and the ugly sweater contest brings Sunshine City artistry to the holiday season.
