Ugly Sweater Pub Crawls
Tampa’s Ugly Sweater Pub Crawl brings Ybor City’s beloved Latin heritage and Florida Gulf Coast holiday spirit to the holiday sweater tradition in one of the fastest growing cities in America. Ybor City is one of the most historically and culturally significant entertainment districts in Florida and on ugly sweater night the combination of the cigar factory heritage, the Latin cultural tradition, and the excellent Tampa bar community creates a holiday celebration that is completely unique to this remarkable Florida city.
Our Tampa route moves through Ybor City and the surrounding bar district, stopping at venues that represent the extraordinary cultural richness and bar quality of what Tampa has built. The ugly sweater competition in Tampa draws on the creative energy of a city that blends Latin American heritage with Florida coastal culture and the entries reflect that uniquely Tampa combination of traditions.
December in Tampa is warm and beautiful, typically ranging from 58 to 72 degrees at night. The Florida Gulf Coast winter is perfect outdoor weather and Ybor City at Christmas has a festive Latin holiday energy that is specific to Tampa. The combination of historical architecture, warm Florida air, and holiday decorations creates a genuinely beautiful and festive setting.
Our hosts manage the Tampa route with local knowledge. Specials are confirmed, wristbands handle entry at every stop, and the ugly sweater contest brings Cigar City creativity to the holiday season.
