SweaterCon San Francisco Ugly Sweater Pub Crawl

SweaterCon 2025: San Francisco’s Official Ugly Sweater Pub Crawl – The Holiday Tradition Everyone Looks Forward To

San Francisco’s favorite holiday kickoff is back and bigger than ever.

Saturday, December 6, 2025 | 4:00 PM – 10:00 PM

The one night of the year when dressing ridiculously is not only encouraged — it’s practically required.

SweaterCon is the original, highest-attended, and most enthusiastically over-the-top ugly sweater pub crawl in the city. Hundreds of locals, tech crews, friend groups and holiday enthusiasts take over Polk Gulch and surrounding neighborhoods in the ugliest, brightest, most extra Christmas sweaters known to mankind.

This is the holiday party that starts the season right — one full week before Santacon, so you can go hard and still recover in time for round two.

The 2025 Bar Lineup : Mayes Oyster House, McTeagues, El Lopo, Wreck Room, Lush Lounge, Uni Pizza, Route 101, R Bar, Decodance, Music City Starfactory, Beso Mae, Amsterdam Cafe and more!

Your All-Inclusive Ticket Includes:

• Ridiculously good drink specials at every single bar 
• No cover charges anywhere
• Holiday party favors at check-in
• The infamous Find the Gnome Contest
• Live DJs at multiple venues 
• Holiday Decorations

Bring your crew. Bring your ugliest sweater. Bring your holiday spirit (or come borrow some — we’ve got plenty to share).

SweaterCon 2025.

The most wonderful (and wonderfully ridiculous) night of the year.
