Yes! Early pickup will be available Saturday, August 30 at The Pub TC. Exact hours will be announced closer to the date, but if you want to skip the line Sunday morning, come grab your lanyard and map early, grab a bite, and mentally prepare to abide.
We’ll start and end at The Pub TC. From there, you’ll follow the lanyard map across downtown Traverse City, hitting participating downtown bars like Firefly, Coin Slot, Union St, Mama Lu’s, and many more. All of the participating locations are walkable, within the downtown district on by design.
Again, none of the participating locations are outside of the walkable downtown area for both proximity and safety. We strongly recommend ride-sharing, walking, or arranging a safe ride. No one wants to be the Walter of the group.
You’ll find out soon! We’re working on some awesome giveaways for best costume, best group look, and crawl MVPs. Possible prizes include gift certificates, fun swag, branded items, etc. Stay tuned for voting details
