Where the Nashville crawl goes
Check-in is at Live Oak on Demonbreun Street in Midtown, near the Demonbreun Hill and Music Row bars and about a mile from Lower Broadway. Every participating bar is on the digital map you get at check-in and is posted here closer to the date.
Getting there and what to wear
Rideshare is the simplest way in and out of Midtown, and WeGo buses run along Broadway and West End. December afternoons in Nashville are usually in the 40s and 50s and cool off after dark, so bring a layer for the evening. Santa outfits and Christmas costumes are all strongly encouraged.
21+ with valid government-issued photo ID.
