About
Boulder, CO
Halloween Pub Crawls
Boulder, Colorado has a bar district most cities would build a downtown around. Pearl Street and the blocks feeding into it put a serious number of venues inside a short walk, and on Halloween night that geography does a lot of the work for you. The Boulder Halloween Bar Crawl connects the best of it with a single wristband.
The crowd here is a specific mix. University Hill brings the student energy, the professional side of Boulder brings people who have been waiting since September for a real night out, and the Front Range brings visitors up from Denver and over from Longmont. On October 31st they all end up on the same few blocks.
Boulder in late October is clear, cold, and dark early once the sun drops behind the Flatirons. The bars on the crawl route are indoors and warm, but the walking is outdoors, and the local costume tradition has adapted accordingly. Layering is not a compromise here, it is part of the craft.
One ticket covers the route. Drink specials are held for wristband holders at every stop, the venues decorate, and the costume contest runs across the whole night rather than at a single stage. If you want the fullest version of Halloween in Boulder without planning it, this is it.
