Fayetteville, AR
Halloween Pub Crawls
The Fayetteville Halloween Bar Crawl follows Dickson Street, the long entertainment strip that runs from the University of Arkansas campus toward the Fayetteville Square. The Dickson Street area has live-music rooms, restaurants and a long run of bars, which is why a crawl here reads like a hometown tradition. Come early and you can walk it before the crowds fill the sidewalks.
This is an Arkansas Razorbacks town, and a good share of the crowd is university students and alumni. Northwest Arkansas supplies the rest: friends from Springdale, Rogers and Bentonville, nurses and engineers who moved for jobs, and locals who have been going out on Dickson Street for decades. The room is friendly and the costumes run from homemade to ambitious. Matching group costumes are popular on the strip.
The Ozarks in late October are cool and often beautiful, with evenings in the 40s and 50s and some rain. The route follows a long strip, so wear comfortable shoes and bring a layer. Hills are a thing here, and heels or costume boots will let you know about it by the second block. Leaves are turning across the Boston Mountains this time of year, so the drive in is pretty.
Tickets include a wristband, a Dickson Street map and Halloween specials. Doors want a photo ID showing you are 21 or older, and your confirmation email names where the night opens.
