Portland Thanksgiving Eve Bar Crawl 2026


Wednesday, November 25th, 2026 | 6PM – 11PM | Portland, Maine

Thanksgiving Eve is the biggest bar night of the year — and Portland is going all out. The Portland Thanksgiving Eve Bar Crawl 2026 is the official holiday kickoff party before Thanksgiving Day. On Wednesday, November 25th, hundreds of crawlers will take over some of the best bars in Downtown Portland for one unforgettable night of drink specials, live DJs, and high-energy holiday vibes.

If you’re searching for things to do in Portland on Thanksgiving Eve, the best Thanksgiving Eve party in Portland, or where to go out in Downtown Portland before Thanksgiving, this is it. Tickets are limited and this event has sold out in previous years. Early purchase is strongly recommended.


Why Thanksgiving Eve in Portland Is The Night To Go Out

Thanksgiving Eve is when everyone is home — friends reunite, college students return from out of town, and the city comes alive. It’s one of the busiest and most exciting nightlife nights of the entire year.

Instead of waiting in long lines or paying multiple cover charges, your official Pubcrawls.com wristband gives you exclusive access to multiple participating Downtown Portland venues — all in one night.

One wristband. Multiple bars. Maximum energy.


What’s Included With Your Portland Bar Crawl Ticket

Your ticket includes access to 4+ participating Downtown Portland bars plus exclusive holiday drink specials and a FREE after party. Here’s what you get:

• Free entry into the best Portland bars
• 4+ participating venues within walking distance
• Exclusive Thanksgiving-themed drink specials
• Discounted select food specials
• FREE after party access
• Official Pubcrawls.com wristband
• Custom digital Portland bar crawl map
• Live DJs and entertainment at select venues
• On-site event staff to keep the night running smoothly
• Social media coverage opportunities

This is the most cost-effective way to experience multiple Portland bars in one night without paying separate covers at each location.


Who Should Attend

This event is perfect for:

• Portland locals
• USM students ages 21 or over
• Holiday visitors in Southern Maine
• Groups of friends reuniting before Thanksgiving
• Anyone looking for the biggest Thanksgiving Eve party in Portland

If you’re planning to go out in Portland on November 25th, this is the organized, high-energy way to do it.
