Ready to get into the holiday spirits? The DTSP Ugly Sweater Bar Crawl is here to help.

Hosted by Downtown Crawlers, the Ugly Sweater Bar Crawl on Saturday, December 11 will wind its merry way through eight of downtown St. Pete’s best bars and give exclusive offers to participants throughout. Each ticket includes five free “welcome shots” that can be redeemed at any five of the participating bars, food and drink specials for crawlers at every bar and free cover to all venues.

And of course, in the name of yuletide shenanigans, there will be a contest for the best ugly sweaters.

The Ugly Sweater Bar Crawl runs from 4-11:30 pm on December 11th, with check-in open from 4-7 pm at Park & Rec, the first stop on the crawl. Other stops on the crawl include The Avenue, Thirsty First and The One Night Stand, with more to be announced.

Get your toes in the sand with the St. Pete Beach Ugly Sweater Bar Crawl

Want to make it a Very Florida Christmas? Take it to the water for a big-time ugly sweater bar crawl on the beach, complete with free transportation to each stop of the crawl. The St. Pete Beach Ugly Sweater Bar Crawl runs 4-11:30 pm on Saturday, December 11th.

Featuring live music, DJ’s, dancing, bar games, sunsets, and much more, tickets include five free drinks at the bar of your choice and exclusive food and drink deals at each venue, plus free rides as a group on the trolley. The crawl’s check-in location will be at Caddy’s on Treasure Island starting at 4 p.m. From there, participants will board the Trolley to head over to The Hut at John’s Pass, followed by an invasion of Caddy’s on Madeira Beach for an awesome dance party. The crawl will continue by trolley from there to two more mystery locations.

Simply choose from the Downtown Tampa and or South Tampa crawls, put on your best (or rather, worst) sweater and hit the check-in station to get started. Each crawl includes five free welcome shots and exclusive food and drink deals at all of the 10+ participating bars.

Check-in for South Tampa is at MacDintons from 4-7 pm, and check-in for Downtown is at Park & Rec from 4-7 pm.
