It’s almost that time of year again — when the frost is on the vine, the stockings are hung by the chimney with care, and the silver bells are ringing. Ok, who are we fooling? There is no frost in LA, we all live in apartments, and our smart phone ringtones are the only things ringing, BUT each December we DO have the absolute-best-time-you-can-have-on-concrete-under-palm-trees with an ocean view.

The annual SANTA Monica Pub Crawl is this weekend! Last year over 5,000 people crawled their hearts out to celebrate the season at the ever popular Santa Monica holiday event by filling the streets with joyous Santa’s, reindeer, elves, and raising enough food for 70,000 meals through the Westside Food Bank.

Celebrating the fourth consecutive year, over 25 bars and restaurants all over the city will come together to raise money for those in need during the holidays. Official starting locations include: SOUTH (Wilshire Route), 31Ten Lounge (Main Street), Rusty’s Surf Ranch (The Pier), and Wokcano (Promenade Route). With your official SMPC wristband you will receive drink and food specials at the participating locations and will automatically be entered into the pub crawl raffle with the chance to win a ton of great prizes.

Crawlers must Sign Up online, Pay a $10 donation/entrance fee, Choose a Route, and Collect their Wristband and Map at their official starting location.
