GRBarcrawl’s Annual Santa Crawl: Ho-Ho-Ho Fun Bus Express

What is red, white, and laughs all night long?

Anyone who gets on board the annual GRBarcrawl’s Santa Crawl, where guests dressed as Santa Claus will be transported all over town for a special holiday edition of this uniquely Grand Rapids-focused pub hopping event.

The Santa crawl asks people to dress up in their finest attempt to pay tribute to the jolly old character who showers toys on good boys and girls on Christmas. But since this is a few days prior, your Santa will more than likely be showering down drinks at the six or seven stops.

And while the list of stops is top secret, like a box under the tree, the organizers do promise that many bars are ready to pamper riders with express entry, drink specials, and even the occasional snack along the way.

According to event organizers, what is really fun about this particular event is that once a busload of Santas enters the bar, the whole room changes.

It is an instant party wherever they go, so don’t sit at home this Saturday when you could make a busload of new friends who share at least one thing in common with you: they like to have fun.

While you can pay cash the day of the event at The Rez, space is very limited so a reservation is the only way to ensure they will have room for you.


Admission: $40
