Walking Dead Halloween Pub Crawl Madison 2025

This Halloween weekend, Madison transforms into a full-on zombie takeover. The Walking Dead Halloween Pub Crawl is your pass to a night of eerie excitement, packed venues, and hundreds of partygoers dressed in their most creative and terrifying costumes.

From the first drink to the final last call, you’ll be moving with the undead through Madison's best bars — no cover, no hassle, just pure Halloween nightlife.

✅ Skip the Cover – One wristband gets you into every participating venue without paying a door fee.

✅ Exclusive Drink Specials – Crawl-only drink deals all night to keep your energy (and spirits) high.

✅ Multiple Venues, One Price – Experience more of the city in one night than you could at any single bar.

✅ Packed Dance Floors – Music, lights, and energy in every spot you hit.

✅ Meet New People – Join a massive crowd of costumed crawlers ready to party.

✅ Final Mega Party – End the night at a huge closing party where the entire horde reunites.

1️⃣ Wristband Pickup (7:30 PM – 10:30 PM) Start at our designated check-in bar to collect your wristband. Without it, you’re just a lost wanderer — with it, you’re part of the horde.

2️⃣ The Crawl (8:30 PM – 11:30 PM) Make your way through the participating venues at your own pace. Every stop brings a new vibe, new people, and unique drink specials.

3️⃣ Final Gathering (11:30 PM – 2:00 AM) Meet the full zombie army at the last stop. The lights go low, the beats go hard, and the party doesn’t stop until the city sleeps.
