Ugly Sweater Pub Crawls
Waco’s Ugly Sweater Pub Crawl brings the Heart of Texas’s bar culture and Baylor Bears holiday spirit to the holiday sweater tradition. The Magnolia Market area and the surrounding bar districts have become one of the most visited and celebrated destinations in Central Texas and on ugly sweater night the combination of Baylor university energy, the Magnolia home design culture, and the excellent Waco bar scene creates a holiday celebration that is completely unique to this now-famous Texas city.
Our Waco route moves through the downtown and Magnolia area bar district, stopping at venues that represent the full quality of what Waco’s bar scene has built. The ugly sweater competition in Waco draws on the creative energy of a city that has been transformed by its tourism success and the entries reflect the combination of Baylor faith, Texas pride, and the genuine design creativity that has made Waco famous.
December in Waco is mild, typically ranging from 38 to 55 degrees at night. The Texas winter is brief and the downtown Waco holiday decorations combine the Magnolia aesthetic with Texas Christmas tradition in ways that create a genuinely beautiful holiday pub crawl setting.
Our hosts manage the Waco route with local knowledge. Specials are confirmed, wristbands handle entry at every stop, and the ugly sweater contest brings Heart of Texas creativity to the holiday season.
Our Atlantic City route moves through the bar district and surrounding entertainment venues, stopping at locations that represent the full range of what makes AC nightlife special. The ugly sweater competition in Atlantic City draws on the showbiz energy of America’s playground and the entries here have the theatrical quality and genuine ambition that you would expect from a city where spectacle is a tradition.
December in Atlantic City is cold, typically ranging from 28 to 38 degrees at night, with the Atlantic Ocean providing a sharp coastal wind. The boardwalk in winter has a particular atmosphere that is unlike any other season and the casino lights create a glittering backdrop for the ugly sweater crawl that is genuinely spectacular. Atlantic City in December has a romance and nostalgia that only this city possesses.
Our hosts manage the Atlantic City route with local knowledge. Specials are confirmed, wristbands handle entry at every stop, and the ugly sweater contest brings Atlantic City showbiz ambition to the holiday season.
