Ugly Sweater Pub Crawls
Tucson’s Ugly Sweater Pub Crawl brings the Old Pueblo’s unique bar culture and Sonoran Desert holiday spirit to the holiday sweater tradition. The Fourth Avenue District and the surrounding bar neighborhoods are the heart of Tucson nightlife and on ugly sweater night the combination of University of Arizona Wildcats passion, the desert mountain backdrop, and the excellent Tucson bar community creates a holiday celebration with a Southwestern character that is completely specific to the Old Pueblo.
Our Tucson route moves through the Fourth Avenue District and the surrounding bar district, stopping at venues that represent the full quality and unique character of what Tucson’s bar scene has built. The ugly sweater competition in Tucson draws on the creative energy of a UA community and the broader Tucson arts tradition and the entries reflect that Southwestern combination of desert authenticity and genuine creative originality.
December in Tucson is mild and desert beautiful, typically ranging from 42 to 62 degrees at night. The Sonoran Desert winter is Tucson’s finest season and the Fourth Avenue holiday decorations have a Southwestern character that is completely unique. The Catalina Mountains visible from almost anywhere in the city create a backdrop of genuine natural grandeur for the ugly sweater crawl.
Our hosts manage the Tucson route with local knowledge. Specials are confirmed, wristbands handle entry at every stop, and the ugly sweater contest brings Old Pueblo creativity to the holiday season.
