About
Ventura, CA
Ugly Sweater Pub Crawls
Ventura’s Ugly Sweater Pub Crawl brings the Surf City’s laid-back beach bar culture and Southern California holiday spirit to the holiday sweater tradition. The downtown Ventura and Main Street bar districts are the heart of a genuinely charming coastal California city and on ugly sweater night the combination of surf community character, Channel Islands backdrop, and the excellent Ventura bar scene creates a holiday celebration that has the authentic Southern California coastal character that Ventura has always embodied.
Our Ventura route moves through Main Street and the surrounding bar district, stopping at venues that represent the quality and genuine character of what Ventura’s bar scene has built. The ugly sweater competition in Ventura draws on the creative energy of a surf and outdoor community and the entries reflect the authentic, unpretentious California coastal creativity that distinguishes Ventura from the more commercial beach destinations.
December in Ventura is mild and beautiful, typically ranging from 50 to 65 degrees at night. The Southern California coast in December is perfect outdoor weather and Main Street at Christmas has a warm, community-oriented holiday energy that reflects the genuine character of this beloved coastal city.
Our hosts manage the Ventura route with local knowledge. Specials are confirmed, wristbands handle entry at every stop, and the ugly sweater contest brings Channel Islands creativity to the holiday season.
