Where's Waldo Bar Crawl Attempts to Set World Record

The East Andrews Entertainment District will be overrun with Waldo and Wanda look-a-likes clad in the classic duo's red-and-white-striped shirts, hats and black-rimmed glasses.

Where's Waldo?, the timeless classic book series that challenges viewers to find a goofy guy in red and white stripes and black rimmed glasses in crowded scenes, is coming to life in Buckhead on Saturday.

The inaugural Where's Waldo? Bar Crawl will take place from 4-11 p.m. on Saturday at Buckhead's East Andrews Entertainment District. It's far more than just a bar crawl, it's a world record attempt. The event features live music and DJs, a costume contest, Waldo-style scavenger hunt, prizes, an after party, and more, all in an attempt toΒ break the World Record for the most people dressed as the iconic children’s book character, Waldo of Where's Waldo.

Prizes will be given out through the course of theΒ event and there will be an after party at Andrews Upstairs beginning at 9Β p.m.Β for all event goers featuring a high-energy performance from 80’s R Us, Atlanta’sΒ premier 80's tribute band.
