The Visitors Bureau’s 2026 guide lists the Halloween Bar Crawl from September 18 through November 1, 2026. It is a date range, not a single-night schedule. Confirm participating venues and how the crawl works before choosing your visit.

Spooky Season Celebration: October 24

The bureau’s Spooky Season Celebration page separately announces October 24, 2026 and links Monster Run registration. Treat the family celebration, race and bar crawl as separate activities unless the organizer explicitly says otherwise.

Confirm the details for your night

Start with the Visitors Bureau’s current event information, then check the venues you want to visit. Ask whether the crawl uses a passport, ticket, app or other check-in method. Verify any entry fee, costume contest, entertainment time or participation requirement with the organizer.

Do not assume every bar participates or that the same entertainment runs throughout the entire crawl period. Individual locations set their own hours, admission conditions and age requirements.

Plan the route and transportation

Use our Strip map guide to understand the corridor. Choose a manageable group of stops, arrange a sober driver or booked ride, and agree on a meeting point if your group splits up.

Check parking restrictions before leaving a car for the evening. Ask your lodging host about guest parking and your return arrangements.

What to bring

Bring identification, weather-appropriate layers and footwear suited to walking between venues. Choose a costume that lets you see clearly and move comfortably. Confirm any costume or bag restrictions directly with each venue.
