Ugly Sweater Pub Crawls
Charlotte’s Ugly Sweater Pub Crawl brings the Queen City’s rapidly growing bar scene and Carolina holiday spirit to one of the most festive December nights in the South. South End and the NoDa Arts District have developed into two of the finest bar neighborhoods in the Carolinas and on ugly sweater night they deliver a celebration that reflects the ambition and energy of one of America’s fastest growing cities.
Our Charlotte route moves through South End and the surrounding bar district, stopping at venues that represent the full quality of what Charlotte’s bar scene has become. The ugly sweater competition in Charlotte draws on the creative talent of a city that has attracted people from across the country and the entries reflect that diverse, ambitious character.
December in Charlotte is mild by most standards, typically ranging from 35 to 50 degrees at night. The Carolina climate makes ugly sweater weather ideal and South End in December has a festive energy that comes from a neighborhood that is genuinely invested in making its holiday celebrations excellent.
Our hosts manage the Charlotte route with local knowledge. Specials are confirmed, wristbands handle entry at every stop, and the ugly sweater contest brings Queen City creativity to the holiday season.
