-San Francisco’s Biggest Halloween Party
The 2025 edition opens on Friday, October 24, when the first wave of participants descend on Lower Polk Street to kick off four days of Halloween festivities. From 6 p.m. to 11 p.m., more than a dozen bars—among them Mayes, McTeague’s, Route 101, Lush Lounge, R Bar, Decodance, Kung Fu Action Theater, Amsterdam, Hanaro, El Lopo, and Wreck Room—will throw open their doors for a costumed crowd eager to celebrate the holiday in classic San Francisco style.
A Festival Disguised as a Crawl
The premise is simple: one ticket, dozens of bars, and the kind of freedom that only comes with wandering the city in costume with thousands of strangers. Ticket holders receive discounted drink specials, no cover charges at participating venues, and access to themed surprises along the way. DJs provide the soundtrack, while party favors and contests keep the atmosphere buzzing. A long-standing tradition, the Find the Gnome Contest has become a cult favorite, offering sharp-eyed participants a chance to win prizes amid the crowd.
Where It All Begins
Check-in for opening night begins at Mayes Oyster House (1233 Polk Street), where wristbands are distributed and the night officially takes shape. From there, crawlers spill into the surrounding bars, each transformed with Halloween decorations and packed with energy. The event is as much about spectacle as it is about camaraderie: vampires brushing shoulders with superheroes, pirates ordering shots next to cowboys, and the occasional ghost making a quiet exit before rejoining the dance floor.
The Best Thing to Do for Halloween in San Francisco
For those searching for the city’s defining Halloween event, the answer is clear. Whether it’s the thrill of discovering the next bar down the block, the joy of dancing in costume until last call, or the simple fun of being part of something massive, Crawloween offers it all.
Tickets are available now, and as history shows, they don’t last long. If Halloween in San Francisco is on your calendar, this is where it begins.
