SoMa Halloween Bar Crawl

The SoMa Halloween Bar Crawl runs the length of South Main on Halloween, with participating bars — Dugan's, Root Cafe's bar program, South on Main, and a rotating cast of neighborhood spots — offering costume-holder drink specials and a stamp card that earns prizes at each stop. SoMa's Halloween is distinctively its own thing: the neighborhood's art-forward, creative-class vibe means the costumes trend ambitious and the bar scene tends toward conversation over volume. A costume contest runs at a designated anchor venue; judges lean toward creativity over production budget. Wristbands are sold at the first participating bar; the crawl is self-paced and you can join at any point in the evening. South Main at Halloween is one of the better nightlife experiences the metro offers.
