About
Fort Collins, CO
July 4th Pub Crawls
Fort Collins, Colorado has a legitimate claim to being the city that invented modern American craft brewing. On Saturday, July 4, 2026, Old Town Fort Collins becomes the center of the official Red, White and Brew bar crawl, with drink specials at 10 of the city’s best bars and brewpubs, live DJs, and a crowd that takes its beer and its holidays seriously.
Old Town Fort Collins is one of the most walkable and charming downtown districts in all of Colorado. The historic buildings along College Avenue and Mountain Avenue house an exceptional concentration of taprooms, bars, and restaurants that have made Fort Collins a destination city for beer lovers from across the Mountain West. On a normal Saturday, Old Town is already one of the best places to be in Colorado. On July 4, 2026, with the pub crawl running through it, the energy reaches another level.
Fort Collins is home to Colorado State University and has one of the most engaged and well-educated populations of any mid-sized city in the country. The craft beer culture here runs deep. New Belgium Brewing, Odell Brewing, and Anheuser-Busch all have major operations in Fort Collins, and the city’s smaller taprooms have built on that heritage to create one of the most impressive local beer cultures anywhere in America.
In 2026, America turns 250 years old on July 4th. Fort Collins was established as a military fort in 1864 during the Civil War era and grew into a city built around agriculture, education, and eventually craft brewing. The Semiquincentennial lands in a city that has always been part of the American frontier story, from the western expansion of the 1860s to the craft beer revolution of the 1980s that started right here.

Check in at the starting location in Old Town at 6:00 PM, pick up your Red, White and Brew wristband, and spend the holiday night moving through one of Colorado’s best bar corridors.
The Fort Collins July 4th pub crawl draws Old Town regulars, CSU students and alumni, and visitors from Loveland, Greeley, and Boulder who make the trip north for the holiday. The crowd skews toward people who know their beer and appreciate a well-organized event, and the Fort Collins crawl delivers on both counts.
