0 While Halloween may be two weeks away, The Sunset Strip’s businesses are partnering to present a very spirited pre-party this Saturday, Oct. 22, as they host a Dia de los Muertos-themed Strip Crawl.
Similar to Tweet Crawls, the event will provide participants walking the boulevard with free entrance to participating establishments to enjoy food and drink specials, live entertainment and prizes announced along the "crawl" via Twitter accounts. With additional themed activities, activations and interactive experiences, this Strip Crawl is set to take the event to the next level.
In addition to free entrance to participating venues, the Strip Crawl will include Dia de los Muertos-style face painting, mariachis, Day of the Dead-influenced pumpkin painting, Black Star “tattoo” station, a photo booth inside Black Star Beer’s vintage Airstream trailer, palm reader, DJs, live music and a Day of the Dead altar. The event is free and open to those ages 21 and older.
“This unique collaboration between The Sunset Strip businesses allows us to provide an incredibly specialized bar crawl featuring the world class restaurants and venues of The Sunset Strip, while also celebrating the cultural heritage of Southern California,” stated Alf LaMont, a Strip Crawl organizer and VP of Marketing for The Comedy Store. “Don’t be surprised to see Calavera skeletons and mariachi bands strolling down Sunset that night.”
