Downtown Bar Crawl

The best way to spread Christmas cheer is… painting and beers!

Join us for a holiday bar crawl with a creative twist — we’re kicking things off at the Art Center with an Elf-themed paint-by-number project before making our way to five participating downtown businesses for drinks, laughs, and plenty of holiday spirit.

Costumes are encouraged (Buddy would approve), and there’ll be prizes for the most festive looks.

Space is limited, so grab your spot early — this one’s sure to fill up faster than Santa’s sleigh!

Where: Start at the Art Center of Burlington
Cost: $25/person | Includes 8x10 mounted paper “canvas,” paints, and brushes (drinks sold separately)

Participating Bars:
