San Francisco Halloween Pub Crawl: Crawloween

25,000+ Attendees – 50+ Bars – Massive Costume Contest – Discounted Beer, Shots & Cocktails – No Covers – Find the Gnome – Live DJs – Free Party Bus Shuttles

When it comes to Halloween in the Bay Area, nothing compares to Crawloween, the San Francisco Halloween Pub Crawl produced by CrawlSF. What started as a citywide costume party has grown into the largest Halloween celebration in San Francisco and one of the biggest pub crawls in the World.

Last year, more than 25,000 costumed partygoers filled the streets, turning entire neighborhoods into a wild Halloween festival. In 2026, it’s coming back even bigger.

If trick-or-treating was your favorite night of the year as a kid, think of this as the upgraded, adults-only version. Instead of candy you’ll be getting drink specials, dance floors and memories at over 50 participating bars.
