Festicrawl: The San Francisco Music Festival Pub Crawl

Mark your calendars for May 3, 2025, because Festicrawl is back and ready to take over the city. Produced by CrawlSF, this innovative event blends a music festival and a pub crawl into one unforgettable day. If you love hopping between San Francisco bars while catching live performances from incredible bands and DJs, Festicrawl is the place to be.

The inaugural Festicrawl in August 2024 set the tone with a lineup of local talent and a crowd that knew how to have a good time. Now, the event is returning for its sophomore year with even more to offer.

It’s a pub crawl meets music festival, and it’s uniquely San Francisco. Along with the normal drink specials, party favors & contests at CrawlSF Pub Crawls, we are adding some amazing live bands and DJs to each venue.

Drink Specials: Enjoy discounted cocktails, beers, and more at participating bars.

What to Expect: A Look Back at 2024

Festicrawl’s first year was kick ass! Attendees wandered from venue to venue, sipping discounted drinks while enjoying intimate performances from acts like Spooky Mansion, Indanna Hale, and Bolero! Tino Drima, The Carrots, and John Courage added their unique flavors, while DJ Yo Celly and CDCM kept the beats rolling between sets.

San Francisco is a city that loves its music, and Festicrawl puts that passion front & center. It’s not just about barhopping (though the drink specials are unbeatable). It’s also about discovering incredible new bands and DJs in smaller venues. There’s something magical about seeing a performance at a local haunt like McTeague’s or El Lopo, where the proximity to the stage adds a personal connection that’s hard to replicate at larger venues.
