Ugly Sweater Pub Crawls
Boise’s Ugly Sweater Pub Crawl brings the Treasure Valley’s outdoor-adventure bar culture and Idaho holiday spirit to one of the most festive December nights in the Pacific Northwest interior. The Baro and downtown Boise have developed into some of the most impressive bar neighborhoods in Idaho and on ugly sweater night they deliver a celebration that reflects the genuine warmth and community spirit that makes Boise one of the most livable and lovable cities in the Mountain West.
Our Boise route moves through the downtown bar district, stopping at venues that represent the craft culture and quality that has made Boise one of the fastest growing and most celebrated cities in America. The ugly sweater competition in Boise draws on the creative energy of a city that has attracted people from across the country who share a love of outdoor adventure and genuine quality of life.
December in Boise is cold, typically ranging from 28 to 38 degrees at night, with possible snow that creates a genuinely festive winter setting. The Boise Mountains visible in the distance and the Christmas lights downtown make the ugly sweater crawl setting one of the most genuinely beautiful in the Mountain West. The Idaho winter is real and the bars are warm and welcoming.
Our hosts manage the Boise route with local knowledge. Specials are confirmed, wristbands handle entry at every stop, and the ugly sweater contest brings Treasure Valley creativity to the holiday season.
