What is the Ugly Sweater Pub Crawl?
Ladies, gentlemen, and festive party people of all sorts, get ready to don your holiday worst for the most fantastically fun event of the season: SweaterCon, San Francisco’s Ugly Sweater Pub Crawl!
The Mission:
Should you choose to accept it, is to adorn yourself in the most gloriously gaudy, fabulously flamboyant, and laughably ludicrous holiday sweater you can find, unearth, or craft. This is your chance to shine in the knitted monstrosity Grandma was so proud of!
The Location:
Polk Street, the heart and soul of San Francisco’s nightlife, will become your playground. Navigate this festive route where every bar door leads to another chapter of merriment. Participating Bars include Mayes Oyster House, Decodance, Route 101, Wreck Room, Lush Lounge, Mcteague’s Saloon, El Lopo and more.
The Perks:
Drink Specials Galore: Think of it as Santa’s little helpers, but for your thirst. Each participating bar offers exclusive drink deals to keep your spirits as high as your fashion sense is questionable.
Electrifying DJs: Dance the night away to tunes spun by some amazing DJs. It’s like your favorite holiday playlist, only better, because you’re hearing it in a sweater!
Contests & Surprises: Find the Gnome Contest? Check. Random party favors? Check. Impromptu conga lines? Why not!
The Experience: SweaterCon is your chance to strut, boogie, and clink glasses with fellow ugly sweater aficionados. Whether you come with friends or make new ones along the way, SweaterCon is about community, laughter, and a whole lot of holiday cheer.
The Invitation:
To everyone! Whether you’re a die-hard Christmas enthusiast, a Hanukkah merrymaker, a Kwanzaa celebrator, or just in it for the laughs (and the drinks) – this is your event. SweaterCon is about celebrating the holiday season in the most inclusive and joyously absurd way possible.
The Bottom Line:
If you’re looking to add a dash of whimsy, a sprinkle of nostalgia, and a generous helping of unforgettable fun to your holiday season, then SweaterCon is your destination. Join us on December 16th – let your sweater do the talking and your laughter fill the streets of San Francisco.
Tickets:
They’re hot like mulled wine, so grab yours now! Let’s make this a holiday event to remember – or at least, to laugh about for years to come. See you in the land of ugly sweaters!

Celebrate the Holidays in San Francisco
San Francisco, the city where fog meets festive flair, transforms into a wonderland of holiday cheer, welcoming all to celebrate the season in their own unique way. Whether you’re wrapping yourself in the warmth of Christmas, lighting up with the glow of Hanukkah, or embracing the vibrant spirit of Kwanzaa, this eclectic city has a corner for every celebration.
As December dawns, San Francisco bursts into a kaleidoscope of activities. Stroll through the twinkling lights of Union Square, where the giant Christmas tree becomes a beacon of yuletide joy. Or meander through the historical streets, enriched with the scent of freshly baked treats and the sound of carolers harmonizing the holiday spirit.
For those who seek a more tranquil retreat, the serene glow of Menorahs during Hanukkah can be found in many a cozy nook, each candle flickering stories of heritage and unity. Kwanzaa celebrations, too, resonate through the city, with cultural events that knit communities closer in a tapestry of African traditions and values.
The real gem of San Francisco’s holiday season, however, is the whimsical, slightly irreverent Ugly Sweater Pub Crawl. It’s a jolly parade of the gaudy, the tacky, and the outright hilarious, weaving through the city’s most beloved pubs. Revelers don their most outrageous sweaters, turning the city streets into a runway of festive fashion faux pas. It’s an event that perfectly encapsulates the city’s spirit of fun, freedom, and festivity.
In San Francisco during the holiday season, every street corner hums with celebration, every light twinkles with joy, and every moment is an invitation to partake in the city’s diverse and delightful festivities. No matter how you choose to celebrate, San Francisco in December is a mosaic of holiday magic, waiting to be explored.
