New Bedford Christmas Wishes ‘Aloha Pub Crawl’ 2024 Brings Cheer to Downtown

It’s time to drape your Hawaiian leis while decking the halls and the streets of downtown New Bedford as the annual Christmas Wishes Aloha Pub Crawl returns for its second year on Sunday, December 1.

This festive tradition invites locals and visitors to spread holiday cheer while supporting a great cause.

Organized by the Dean Family and friends, the Christmas Wishes Aloha Pub Crawl has become a beloved holiday event year after year. Participants can enjoy a day of festive (and tropical) fun while raising funds for Christmas Wishes, a program that helps SouthCoast families in need during the holidays.

Last year, the event raised over $10,000 and brought the community together in the spirit of giving.

The crawl kicks off at Pour Farm Tavern at 11 a.m. and will make its way through some of downtown New Bedford’s most popular spots, including New Beige, Cultivator Shoals, Play Arcade, and ending at The Vault. Expect raffles, entertainment from prizes, and plenty of holiday-themed attire.

Order Of Events

11:30 a.m. – Pour Farm with music by All Mixed Up (Troy & Glen)
