About
Durham, NC
Halloween Pub Crawls
Durham, North Carolina is the Bull City and on Halloween it lives up to the name. The Brightleaf District, Ninth Street, the American Tobacco Campus area, and the surrounding neighborhoods create a bar scene that takes October 31st with the creative energy that the Triangle’s most culturally distinct city naturally brings to any occasion.
One ticket covers every stop on the Durham Halloween Pub Crawl. Your wristband handles entry and activates exclusive drink specials at each bar on the route. The Bull City’s bar community goes full Halloween and the crawl format lets the North Carolina crowd focus on costumes and company instead of logistics.
The Research Triangle has three distinct Halloween personalities and Durham’s is arguably the most creative. The city’s arts community, the Duke University presence, and the independent bar culture along Ninth Street and Brightleaf combine to produce a Halloween crawl crowd that brings ideas to their costumes that you do not see in most cities.
Whether you are a Durham local, coming in from Chapel Hill, Raleigh, or elsewhere in the Triangle, or visiting the Bull City for October 31st, the Halloween Bar Crawl is the right call. Buy early because the North Carolina route fills and Durham’s reputation for creative Halloween has made the event increasingly competitive.
