Atlantic City, NJ
Ugly Sweater Pub Crawls
Atlantic City’s Ugly Sweater Pub Crawl brings the World’s Playground’s beloved entertainment culture and Jersey Shore holiday spirit to the holiday sweater tradition. The Atlantic City bar district and boardwalk venues are the heart of a nightlife scene that has been one of America’s most famous entertainment destinations for over a century and on ugly sweater night the combination of casino energy, boardwalk atmosphere, and the unique AC bar culture creates a holiday celebration that is completely one of a kind.
Our Atlantic City route moves through the bar district and surrounding entertainment venues, stopping at locations that represent the full range of what makes AC nightlife special. The ugly sweater competition in Atlantic City draws on the showbiz energy of America’s playground and the entries here have the theatrical quality and genuine ambition that you would expect from a city where spectacle is a tradition.
December in Atlantic City is cold, typically ranging from 28 to 38 degrees at night, with the Atlantic Ocean providing a sharp coastal wind. The boardwalk in winter has a particular atmosphere that is unlike any other season and the casino lights create a glittering backdrop for the ugly sweater crawl that is genuinely spectacular. Atlantic City in December has a romance and nostalgia that only this city possesses.
Our hosts manage the Atlantic City route with local knowledge. Specials are confirmed, wristbands handle entry at every stop, and the ugly sweater contest brings Atlantic City showbiz ambition to the holiday season.
