365 Things to Do in Boston - New Tips Daily

"Join Downeast Cider for the Great Pumpkin Bar Crawl!
This event captures the Halloween spirit and celebrates the wonderful season of Fall. This awesome day will be a mix of two of our favorite events: a bar crawl and a scavenger hunt.
At certain stops on this crawl you will be given challenges and trivia which must be conquered before learning your next location. Our stops will also have variety or drink samples, special drinks, and food discounts - throughout the event we will also be giving out Downeast Swag for all to enjoy! There will also be a period during the day where you are turned loose around Fenway to complete a secret set of challeneges - those collecting the most points will be rewarded.

At the end of the crawl the winning teams will get prize packs, and did we mention free t-shirts? Prepare yourself for a day of cider, fall-themed drinks and adventures, and may the best team win!
Where to meet:
Loretta's Last Call
Time: 2pm
Day: Saturday 10/10/15

Your ticket includes:
- 20% off food at Loretta's
- free crawl t-shirt
- access to Downeast swag giveaways and prizes"
