Ugly Sweater Pub Crawls
Lewiston’s Ugly Sweater Pub Crawl brings the Seaport of Idaho’s bar culture and Idaho holiday spirit to the holiday sweater tradition. The downtown Lewiston bar district has developed into a vibrant scene and on ugly sweater night the combination of the confluence of the Snake and Clearwater rivers setting, the Lewis and Clark trail heritage, and the excellent local bars creates a holiday celebration with an Idaho character that is historic, warm, and completely Lewiston.
Our Lewiston route moves through the downtown and the surrounding bar district, stopping at venues that represent the quality and character of what Lewiston’s bar scene has built. The ugly sweater competition in Lewiston draws on the creative energy of a port community and the entries reflect that Idaho combination of Nez Perce heritage, Lewis and Clark exploration pride, and genuine Clearwater valley holiday warmth.
December in Lewiston is cold but milder than most of Idaho, typically ranging from 28 to 38 degrees at night. The Snake River canyon location actually gives Lewiston one of Idaho’s milder winter climates and the downtown holiday decorations have a warm, community character. The bar community here provides genuine hospitality.
Our hosts manage the Lewiston route with local knowledge. Specials are confirmed, wristbands handle entry at every stop, and the ugly sweater contest brings Seaport of Idaho creativity to the holiday season.
