Wichita Christmas Bar Crawl 2026: Date, Bars & Tickets
Wichita’s Christmas Bar Crawl is on Saturday, December 19, 2026, from 4:00 PM to 10:00 PM. Check-in opens at 4:00 PM, where you get a 2026 event wristband that unlocks drink specials at every participating bar plus no cover. The Scan & Go digital bar map does the rest: scan the wristband, choose Wichita and visit the bars in any order.
Old Town is the city’s main nightlife district, a former warehouse area on the east side of downtown where brick streets and converted buildings hold bars, breweries and restaurants within a few blocks. Across the Arkansas River, the Delano District along West Douglas Avenue has its own mix of neighborhood bars, and the Keeper of the Plains sculpture stands where the Arkansas and Little Arkansas Rivers meet.
Wichita is a driving city, and Old Town makes that easy with public parking lots and garages spread through the district. Wichita Transit buses serve downtown, and rideshare is the best way home. Plan your ride before the crawl ends so you are not standing in the cold waiting for a car.
Kansas Decembers can swing from mild to bitter, often in the same week. Evening temperatures are typically in the 30s, and the wind across the plains makes it feel colder. Put a long-sleeve layer under your ugly sweater, wear a coat that blocks the wind and bring gloves. Snow is possible but usually light this early in winter.
The bar lineup and check-in location are announced to ticket holders and on this page closer to the date. Expect the participating bars to be in Old Town, a short walk from one another. The district sits just a few blocks from Intrust Bank Arena, so check the arena calendar in case an event that night adds traffic.
Grab your crew and the tackiest holiday outfit you own for a Saturday on Old Town’s brick streets. PubCrawls.com runs holiday bar crawls in 100+ U.S. cities, and Wichita is on the list.

Where do I park for the Wichita Christmas Bar Crawl?
