A structured social gathering involving participants visiting multiple drinking establishments within the Orlando area during the Halloween season. This activity generally includes themed costumes, drink specials, and organized transportation or routes between locations. An example would be a group of individuals dressed in horror-themed attire proceeding from one bar to the next in downtown Orlando on the Saturday before Halloween.
These events offer several advantages, including increased social interaction, economic benefits for participating businesses, and a structured, safer alternative to unstructured Halloween night revelry. Historically, organized pub crawls have existed for centuries, but the modern iteration, often themed and large-scale, gained popularity in recent decades, evolving into significant revenue-generating opportunities for hospitality venues.
