What to Know if You Go: Safety Harbor Black Friday Pub Crawl

The Safety Harbor Pub Crawl is back for its fifth installment, and this one has the potential to be bigger than ever, according to coordinators Heather Hildick and Stacy Roth.

"They've all been extremely successful, except for one when it was freezing out and people went home!" Hildick said.

"But there are so many more bars downtown now than there were when we started this. That should make this one very fun."

Roth said the largest group of crawlers had 110 participants; this year she said there had been 78 shirts sold in advance and another 20 confirmed with no shirt ordered.

For those who don't know and are afraid to ask, a pub crawl is a tour of area eating and drinking establishments, sometime with a theme in mind, where a group of participants hop from bar to bar in order to ... well ... Heather?

"There are no rules," Hildick said. "Just show up and have fun."
