Filer image

It's tiiiiiiiime for the FIRST Elmwood Carol Crawl, brought to you by WBFO The Bridge!!!

Deck the halls and hit the bars this holiday season! And what better way to ring in the most wonderful time of the year than singing carols and spreading some holiday cheer? In collaboration with various bars along Elmwood Ave, WBFO The Bridge brings you a night of festive fun with your fellow Elmwood Elves. Dress up in your best holiday gear and hop from bar to bar enjoying drink specials, singing carols and spreading joy along the way.

The festivities will start at Bidwell Parkway, where you will need to check in to receive your drink tickets. Here, we will do a quick caroling practice before going on our merry way. As we travel down the lively streets of Elmwood, we will stop at various bars including Breezy Burrito, Beer Keep, Jack Rabbit, Cole's and finish the night off at Goodbar for Smoldered Society's one-year anniversary party!

Check-in will start at 5:30pm on the corner of Elmwood and Bidwell Parkway. This event is for ages 21+ ONLY, and your I.D. will be required to enter each bar. YOU MUST REGISTER TO ATTEND!!!

The purchase of your ticket will include 5 drink tickets to be used at any of the bars on our itinerary!

Frequently Asked Questions

Where do I park?

We HIGHLY recommend that you utilize a driving service if you are planning to drink (Uber, Lyft, etc.), or that you have a DD for the night. If you, or your friend, plan to DD, there is parking along Elmwood Ave that is free after 5pm. We cannot guarantee any free parking.

Where do we check-in?

Check-in will take place at Bidwell Parkway. We will be located on the corner of Elmwood Ave and Bidwell Parkway. This location is also near the Elmwood-Bidwell Farmers' Market. More specific directions will be sent out closer to the event date.

How long will we spend at each bar?

At each bar, we will sing a carol or two and then stay for about 30-45 minutes to allow people to get a drink and mingle a bit. The time will depend on how many people we have.

What if I want to stay at one of the bars we stop at?

If you see a friend, or like the vibe of one the bars on our itinerary, feel free to stick around! You can always catch up with us at one of the bars later on. Remember- we are ending at Goodbar where will have our after party!

Can I open a tab at any of the bars?

If you plan to travel with us the whole night, we highly suggest that you use your drink tickets for each bar instead of opening up a tab. It can get very complicated if people accidentally leave their tabs open at multiple bars. Feel free to use your drink tickets how you like!

What is included in my ticket price?

In your ticket price, you will receive 5 drink tickets to be used at ANY of the bars. Individually, the bars have decided to donate some of their proceeds to HomeSpace.
