As the chill of October settles in, it’s time to don your most creative costumes and prepare for a night of thrilling adventure—welcome to the 15th annual Zombie Bar Crawl! This beloved tradition, which began as a simple gathering of friends, has evolved into a full-blown community spectacle that beckons all ghouls, goblins, and imaginative souls to hit the streets of downtown Anniston.

A Haunting History

In 2018, the torch was passed to Anniston Bar Crawls, ensuring the event would thrive for years to come. While the Zombie Bar Crawl has always celebrated the undead, it has embraced all costumes, from vampires to superheroes, making it a showcase of creativity and fun. With over 250 participants in previous years, it’s not just a crawl; it’s a celebration of community spirit, camaraderie, and, of course, a dash of the macabre.

However, the shadows of COVID-19 loomed large, forcing a shift to an outdoor festival format in 2020. The years that followed saw participation dwindle, and in 2022 and 2023, the crawl took a hiatus. But this year, we’re thrilled to announce: The Return of the Zombie Bar Crawl! We’re eager to resurrect this cherished event and invite everyone to join in the undead revelry once more.

A Night of Frights and Delights

Set to unfold in the heart of the Downtown Anniston Arts and Entertainment District, the crawl promises an unforgettable evening. The energy will be electric as seven fantastic stops line the route, each offering unique food, drink, and live music. Here’s the schedule for the spooktacular night:

  • 6:30 PM – 7:30 PM: Registration at Coldwater Mountain Brewpub (back deck in the Zinn Garden)
  • 7:30 PM – 8:15 PM: Sinclair Social
  • 8:15 PM – 9:00 PM: Peerless Saloon and Grille
  • 9:00 PM – 9:45 PM: The Parlormint
  • 9:45 PM – 10:30 PM: Darkhorse Saloon
  • 10:30 PM – 11:15 PM: Grand Central
  • 11:15 PM – Midnight: Rack and Roll Billiards and Sports Bar

Tickets are just $10 for a wristband, granting eligibility for door prizes, a chance at the coveted $500 grand prize, and so much more. No additional purchases are required to attend, making this a frightfully fun and affordable night out! Remember, guests must be 21 or older to claim prizes, so leave the little monsters at home!

A Night to Remember

One of the most cherished memories of past crawls is the legendary Thriller Flash Mob, where a Michael Jackson impersonator led hundreds of spirited guests in a dance that took over the street. It’s moments like these that remind us why we celebrate—the joy of dancing, the thrill of costumes, and the magic of community coming together.

Local businesses and sponsors have rallied to support the event, offering exciting door prizes and contributing to the grand prize drawing. As you wander from bar to bar, take a moment to support these local gems that make our downtown vibrant. Enjoy delicious bites, sip on hauntingly good drinks, and soak in the atmosphere of live music while connecting with fellow crawlers.

Join the Undead Fun!

So, gather your friends, unleash your inner zombie (or whatever character you choose), and join us for a night of laughter, frights, and festivities. Pre-register by sending your payment and name to $AnnistonBarCrawls on CashApp, and don’t forget—be at the last stop by 11:45 PM to be eligible for the grand prize!

Let’s bring the streets of Anniston back to life (or should we say, un-life?) as we celebrate The Return of the Zombie Bar Crawl! This is not just an event; it’s a resurrection of our community spirit. Mark your calendars, get your costumes ready, and prepare for an unforgettable night of spooky fun!

See you in the streets, fellow zombies!
