Sioux Falls, SD
Ugly Sweater Pub Crawls
Sioux Falls’s Ugly Sweater Pub Crawl brings South Dakota’s one of the biggest city bar culture and Great Plains holiday spirit to the holiday sweater tradition. The downtown Phillips Avenue and surrounding bar districts have developed into one of the most vibrant nightlife scenes in the Dakotas and on ugly sweater night the combination of Sioux Falls community warmth, the Falls Park setting, and the excellent local bar scene creates a holiday celebration that reflects the genuine character of the Great Plains.
Our Sioux Falls route moves through downtown Phillips Avenue and the surrounding bar district, stopping at venues that represent the quality and character of what Sioux Falls’s bar scene has built. The ugly sweater competition in Sioux Falls draws on the creative energy of a Plains community and the entries reflect the honest, warm, and genuinely festive character that makes South Dakota celebrations special.
December in Sioux Falls is very cold, typically ranging from 10 to 20 degrees at night. The South Dakota winter is serious and the downtown Sioux Falls holiday decorations are beautiful. The bar community here has the genuine warmth of a Plains community that has learned to celebrate together through long winters.
Our hosts manage the Sioux Falls route with local knowledge. Specials are confirmed, wristbands handle entry at every stop, and the ugly sweater contest brings Great Plains creativity to the holiday season.
