About this Event

Do The Ugly Sweater Pub Crawl is coming to Downtown Roanoke - so grab your gaudiest holiday gear and get ready to sleigh! Whether you sparkle, jingle, or light up like a Christmas tree, this is your time to shine. It’s the most wonderfully tacky tradition, where the only rule is: the uglier the sweater, the better the night.

With games, contests, prizes, and downtown holiday cheer, this is the Ugly Sweater Pub Crawl event you won’t want to miss. Come solo, bring your holiday honey, or roll deep with your elf squad—it’s going to be one festive night to remember!

SHOW US YOUR SIPS! Post a Festive Beverage Pic on the ‘gram
Got a cozy creation in a holiday mug or a cup of cheer that makes your sweater shine even brighter? Post it—yes, even if it’s just hot cocoa or sparkling cider. We see you.

Best Dressed Contest: Drop your pic on Facebook
Don your most ridiculous, bedazzled, or LED-lit holiday sweater. The uglier, the better. Post, tag, and you could end up sleighing the prize game!

Trivia on X: Head over to X (formerly Twitter), answer a quick holiday-themed question, and you might be picked to win a little extra joy.

Digital Photo Frames: Capture all your merry moments with our Ugly Sweater-themed digital photo frames—perfect for spreading joy (and envy) on the 'gram!
