Reno Santa Pub Crawl
A variety of Santas, Mrs. Santas, elves, and other holiday beings will take to the streets of downtown Reno for the 8th Annual Reno Santa Pub Crawl. This roving party starts at one of three downtown bars and involves over 30 watering holes scattered around the neighborhood. Things get started at 7:30 p.m. - show up at Amendment 21, Imperial Bar and Lounge, or The Underground to get a crawl map and your first drink. Participation in the Reno Santa Pub Crawl is free, but you'll have to pay for your drinks. You must be 21 and wearing some variety of Santa suit to participate. This is an adult drinking event and there will be big bouncers checking IDs, so be sure to have yours handy. And don't even think about driving, or letting anyone else in your group get behind the wheel. Proceeds from this frivolity go to support the Hashimoto Widows and Orphans' Fund for the families of fallen law enforcement officers of various agencies in the Reno/Sparks area.
