The World’s Largest Pub Crawl
CrawlSF has made history by shattering expectations and claiming the title of the world’s largest pub crawl with their epic Crawloween: San Francisco Halloween Pub Crawl in 2025. Now celebrating its 24th year of producing unforgettable events across the city, CrawlSF has long been a staple for locals and visitors. But 2025’s Crawloween took things to an entirely new level.
The World Record
In October 2025, the San Francisco Halloween Pub Crawl (headlined by the main Crawloween event) drew over 25,000 attendees across its multi-day celebration. This massive turnout decisively surpassed previous benchmarks for pub crawl participation, including the long-standing Guinness World Record of 4,885 participants set in Kansas City years ago for the largest single pub crawl event.
The event spanned over 40 bars across multiple San Francisco neighborhoods, offering participants:
- Exclusive drink specials at every stop
- Djs
- Free party buses
- A “Find the Gnome” contest
- An Epic costume contest
- and more
What started as a growing annual tradition has snowballed year after year. Crawloween has consistently expanded, drawing bigger crowds and adding more features. The 2025 pub crawl, with its record-breaking attendance, solidified CrawlSF’s reputation for creating some of the biggest, most immersive pub crawls anywhere.
While Crawloween stole the spotlight in 2025, CrawlSF’s portfolio of events keeps the party going all year long. The organization is behind several of San Francisco’s most anticipated pub crawls.

San Francisco’s pub crawl scene has never been bigger or more exciting. CrawlSF continues to lead the way in turning ordinary weekends into extraordinary adventures.
