HOW DOES A BAR CRAWL WORK?

Participants crawl at their own pace instead of all together in one huge group. Once crawlers pickup their scorecards at the starting bar, they then travel to all the bars listed enjoying drink specials and getting their scorecard marked at each bar. After visiting all the bars on the list, crawlers join us at Orale Tacos to get your t-shirt!!

THE GOAL

Complete your scorecard by visiting each participating bars and be one of the first 100 crawlers to receive a t-shirt. As you enter the venue, the doorman or bartender will “mark” their respective bar’s section of your scorecard. You do not have to purchase a drink to have your scorecard marked.

FREE STUFF

On top of drink specials, all participants will receive a koozie, a bunch of swag from our sponsors (while supplies last), a scorecard/map to mark your progress, and free entry into all participating bars. Also, the first 100 participants to complete their scorecard will receive an official Savannah Bar Crawl Event t-shirt!

AFTER PARTY

After you have had your scorecard marked at all the bars, join us at Orale Tacos for the official after party. This is also where you will pick up your FREE/RESERVED t-shirts between 6PM-10PM. Remember, we are only giving away FREE shirts to the first 150 crawlers with a finished scorecard. Make sure to bring your score card as proof of participation.

FREE T-SHIRTS

We will be giving away FREE t-shirts (size S-XL) to the first 100 crawlers to join us at Orale Tacos with a completed scorecard. XXL and XXXL will need to be purchased to guarantee in your size.

Many of you want t-shirts, so for an extra $20 (S-XXXL) you may guarantee yourself a t-shirt, in your size, to be waiting for you at the After Party! You will find this option on the registration form.

T-SHIRT ORDERS ARE CUT OFF 1 WEEK PRIOR TO BAR CRAWL TO ENSURE ACCURATE ORDER COUNT. You will be able to purchase t-shirts at the after party for $25.

NOTE: You will only receive ONE t-shirt. This feature is to guarantee yourself a t-shirt when we run out and guarantee it will be in your size. Otherwise, you are more than welcome to try to be one of the first 100 crawlers and get a free t-shirt, size not guaranteed. START: Bubba Garcia’s on Bay between 4pm-8pm. Packet pickup will be at Bubba Garcia’s on bay between 4pm-8pm the day of the event. Please bring your 21+ ID.

Spanish food & Wine ST. AUGUSTINE

Thursday, February 20 to Saturday, February 22

Embark on a journey through St. Augustine’s history, shaped by Spanish exploration 458 years ago. Pedro Menéndez and settlers, with Spanish wine in tow, made their mark on our shores. Spain’s 4,000-year winemaking legacy endures, captivating Europe and dominating the American market.

Enter the St. Augustine Spanish Food & Wine Festival – more than a celebration, it is a showcase of our city’s essence. Beyond wine, it’s a fusion of Spanish culture, music, and food, transcending time.

This event supports Flagler College Hospitality & Tourism Management students, fostering education and promoting historical destination tourism. With each sip, note and bite, the festival invites you to be part of our city’s ongoing, rich Spanish heritage.

The festival’s mission is to connect St. Augustine to our city’s Spanish history through a series of special events that feature Spanish wine, cuisine and culture. The festival serves to raise money for local charities, provide memorable experiences for visitors, foster international economic development, and enrich the quality of life in our community.

St. Augustine history encompasses many cultures and ethnicities, but our primary history involves Spanish exploration and colonization. When Pedro Menéndez and the first 800 European settlers landed on our shore nearly 454 years ago, his ships carried survival provisions. Among his most treasured stores was Spanish wine.

Spain has cultivated wine grapes for more than 4,000 years. The Romans fell in love with Spanish wine and exported it throughout the Roman Empire. Spanish wine is the most popular wine in Europe and the fastest-growing segment of the American wine market. The St. Augustine Spanish Wine Festival is an opportunity to promote our city regionally, nationally and internationally, to help local charities and connect with our founders through products that are as relevant today as they were when the early Spanish explorers came to America.

Spanish culture, music, food and wine defy space and time. The festival and all of its events are designed to promote St. Augustine as the Spanish Wine Capitol of America and to facilitate historical-destination tourism.
