About
Waco, TX
Halloween Pub Crawls
Waco, Texas is the Heart of Texas and home to Baylor University and the world-famous Magnolia Market. On Halloween the Austin Avenue corridor, the Magnolia area, and the downtown Waco bar scene deliver an October 31st that reflects the Central Texas city’s unique blend of Baptist university town, HGTV tourist destination, and the genuine Texas regional hub character that has always defined Waco. The Waco Halloween Bar Crawl covers the best of what the Heart of Texas produces on one organized route.
One ticket covers every stop on the Waco Halloween Pub Crawl. Your wristband handles entry and drink specials at each bar on the route. Waco has a bar culture that reflects the city’s transformation from a simple Texas crossroads town into a destination with national recognition from Magnolia Market while retaining the authentic Texas community character of McLennan County. On Halloween, the Heart of Texas shows up with the same Central Texas pride that Waco has always brought to major occasions.
Texas Halloween has Dallas, Houston, Austin, and San Antonio as its major metropolitan expressions but Waco is the Central Texas chapter between Dallas and Austin. The combination of the Baylor University community, the Magnolia Market tourism draw, and the authentic Texas regional hub identity creates a Halloween crawl that draws from across McLennan County and from the I-35 corridor between Dallas and Austin.
Whether you are a Waco local, coming in from Temple, Killeen, or across the Heart of Texas, or visiting Waco for Magnolia and staying for Halloween, the Bar Crawl is the right call. Buy early before the Texas route fills.
