Ugly Sweater Pub Crawls
Billings’s Ugly Sweater Pub Crawl brings Montana’s one of the biggest city’s bar culture and Big Sky holiday spirit to the holiday sweater tradition. The downtown and the Montana Avenue bar districts have developed into a vibrant Billings nightlife scene and on ugly sweater night the combination of Big Sky Country outdoor culture, the Yellowstone River valley setting, and the excellent local bars creates a holiday celebration with a Montana character that is genuinely rugged, warm, and completely Big Sky.
Our Billings route moves through Montana Avenue and the surrounding bar district, stopping at venues that represent the quality and character of what Billings’s bar scene has built. The ugly sweater competition in Billings draws on the creative energy of a ranching and energy community and the entries reflect that Big Sky combination of Western independence, outdoor adventure pride, and genuine Montana holiday warmth.
December in Billings is very cold, typically ranging from 15 to 28 degrees at night. The Montana winter is serious and the Billings holiday decorations have a Big Sky character with the Rimrocks as a backdrop. The bar community here has the genuine warmth that Montana culture has always brought to its gatherings.
Our hosts manage the Billings route with local knowledge. Specials are confirmed, wristbands handle entry at every stop, and the ugly sweater contest brings Big Sky creativity to the holiday season.
