Ghosts, ghouls, and grown-ups listen up! The Plumas Street Pub Crawl & Costume Party is coming to haunt Yuba City on October 31. This spooktacular event is the perfect way for adults to celebrate Halloween, and it’s a highlight of our Halloween Guide 2024.
A Bewitching Night on Plumas Street
Yuba City’s main drag, Plumas Street, will transform into a playground for costumed revelers on Halloween night. From 6:00 PM until the witching hour (or 2:00 AM, whichever comes first), party-goers can hop from bar to bar, enjoying spine-chilling drink specials and showing off their creative costumes.
Costume Creativity
Half the fun of Halloween is dressing up, and the Plumas Street Pub Crawl & Costume Party takes it to the next level. Whether you’re a fan of classic monsters, pop culture icons, or pun-tastic get-ups, this is your chance to shine. Remember, your costume should be bar-friendly – leave the 10-foot inflatable T-Rex at home now.
Some costume ideas to get your creative juices flowing:
- A zombie barista (because even the undead need their coffee)
- Your favorite meme brought to life
- A “cereal” killer (just add some plastic spoons and empty cereal boxes)
- The ghost of bad decisions past (we’ve all been there)
Drink Specials That Won’t Suck Your Blood (or Your Wallet)
The participating bars along Plumas Street will be serving up Halloween-themed drink specials that are to die for. While the exact offerings may vary, you can expect:
- Witch’s Brew: A mysterious concoction that changes color as you drink it
- Vampire’s Kiss: A blood-red martini that’s sure to give you a little bite
- Zombie Brain Shot: A layered shot that looks gross but tastes great
- Pumpkin Spice White Russian: Because even monsters love fall flavors
Remember to pace yourself, folks. Nobody wants to turn into a real zombie before the night is through.
Participating Bars and Venues
While the full list of participating bars will be announced closer to the event, some Plumas Street favorites are likely to join the fun:
- The Brick Coffee House Cafe (yes, they serve more than just coffee)
- Justin’s Kitchen (for when you need to soak up some of those spirits)
- Sutter Buttes Brewing (because craft beer and Halloween are a perfect match)
- Steele House (for those who like their Halloween with a side of class)
Safety First, Partying Second
The Plumas Street Pub Crawl & Costume Party organizers want everyone to have a frighteningly good time, but safety is key. Here are some tips to keep your night from turning into a real horror story:
- Designate a driver or use a ride-sharing service. Don’t let your broomstick be a car key.
- Stay with your group of friends. Safety in numbers isn’t just for avoiding vampires.
- Keep an eye on your drink. Ghosting is only cool when you’re dressed as Casper.
- Know your limits. The only thing scarier than a haunted house is a hangover.
More Than Just Booze and Boos
While the drinks and costumes are the main attraction, the Plumas Street Pub Crawl & Costume Party offers more than a chance to get tipsy in a tiara. Many of the participating venues will have special events throughout the night, such as:
- Live music from local bands (maybe even some Monster Mash covers)
- Costume contests with prizes for the most creative, scariest, and funniest outfits
- Halloween-themed photo booths to capture your ghoulish glamour
- Spooky snacks to keep your energy up for all that bar-hopping
