Festa Parties’ "Twelve Bars Of Xmas” Chicago Pub Crawl Celebrates Animal-Style in its 19th Year

CHICAGO - Oct. 25, 2014 - PRLog -- On December 13, 2014, tens of thousands of young professionals will wake up to a house-full of alarms buzzing, beeping and blaring at 7:00 am sharp. They will dress in elaborate animal costumes, holiday sweaters, antlers, Santa hats, or a variety of witty and cleverly written homemade t-shirts. These young professionals will leave their apartments promptly at 7:45 am, with tiger-striped party bags on their backs, entry badges around their necks and boxes of colorful, delicious, sugary cereals in hand.

From 8 am to 8 pm, these party animals will crawl up and down four blocks of Clark St., from Roscoe to Racine, trying to hit at least twelve of the fifty-something bars taking part in the festivities. Each bar is given thousands of stickers with which to adorn their party-goers, as if decorating individual Christmas trees.

“It’s truly amazing what TBOX has become after all these years! It started as a small holiday bar crawl with a group of friends and co-workers, and now kicks off with Opening Ceremonies at Cubby Bear, includes Cereal Shots, has a Royal Court, runs through nearly all, Wrigleyville bars and brings in people from all over the U.S.,” said Christopher Festa, Owner of Festa Parties.

Tickets to this event, affectionately known as “The World’s Most Spectacular Pub Crawl” are $45 and include entry to 50+ bars, which are otherwise shut down to the general public, fingerless TBOX-branded gloves, orange and navy tiger-striped gym bag with accessories to carry you through the day, access to thousands of like-minded people, stickers, photo ops, and great memories.
