The Gem City Podcast is proud to present the 10th Annual Santa Pub Crawl! This is a wonderfully fun event, especially with a big group of friends! The best part? It’s all to benefit The Marine Toys for Tots Foundation campaign. Every child deserves a toy for the holiday, and the folks at the Gem City Podcast are working hard to make sure that dream is fulfilled for the children of Dayton!
This year’s event is on Saturday December 12th throughout the Oregon District. To participate in the Pub Crawl, bring a $10 value toy or a $10 cash donation. Please do not put wrapping paper on the toy, as the Marine’s need to divide the toys by gender and age groups.
Make sure to also don your most festival holiday gear to be registered for fabulous prizes in the annual costume contest. Awards are given to Best Male, Female, Couple and Group, so get creative!
Registration will be held at both the Oregon Express Bar and Restaurant & The Dublin Pub from 5-8:30pm. If you are late to the party, please give your donation to a Marine or identified volunteer to get your Pub Crawl Passport.
After registration, you are free to crawl through the Oregon District at your leisure. The Passport you receive at registration lists the names of the participating bars: which includes: The Trolley Stop, Tumbleweed, Ned Peppers/Hole in the Wall, Newcombs, Blind Bob’s, Oregon Express, and The Dublin Pub.
Get a stamp at each bar and once you have that filled, turn it in at the 10pm costume contest at Blind Bob’s to be entered to win door prizes. There is no rush though! Organizers will also be pulling door prizes at the midnight after party at Dublin Pub. You do not need to be present to win.
There is lots of fun along the way, including the beautiful Bud Light girls will be on hand from 8pm – midnight!!
This event is made possible by generous sponsors: Heidelberg (Budweiser, Goose Island), Buckeye Vodka, Folio Designhaus, and Epic Life Fitness, as well as many businesses who donated to the door prizes.
Please be safe! Organizers have a free ride code from uber, for up to a $20 ride for new customers. Use code “santacrawl15” for first time riders.
Help the Gem City Podcast reach their goal of 1000 toys and have fun in the process!!

The 9th Annual Santa Pub Crawl, benefitting the local chapter of Toys for Tots, will take place in the Oregon District on Saturday, December 13th . The Party is only getting larger!
This is the ninth year for this event where Santa Pub Crawl participants don their most festive holiday attire, anything from complete Santa Claus gear to elf ears and reindeer antlers and everything in between. To participate, attendees need to dress in festive holiday gear, (at minimum a Santa hat) which gets them into each participating bar for free and take advantage of drink specials. They must also bring one new unwrapped $10 toy as a donation to Toys for Tots. More than half a dozen Marines will be on hand to accept donations. In lieu of a toy, attendees may also make a $10 donation to Toys for Tots.
The Party starts at 5:00 at the Dublin Pub and continues through 6 other bars in the Oregon District. A costume contest with prizes for first, second, and third place male and female, best couple and best group. Prize package promises to be at least $1500!
Last year, the Santa Pub Crawl collected more than 700 toys along with $1,000 in cash donations, which was distributed by the Marines to local children in need. This event allows the community to come together and ensure that children right here in the Miami Valley have something under the tree on Christmas Day. Santa Pub Crawl Chairperson, Brian Young, stated, “Last year we had a huge turnout, but with the threat of a storm, the crowds were kept to about 750 people. This year promises to have over 1000 people as the campaign of social media and advertising got started about a month earlier. And, because of the generous support of our sponsors, we have a large prize pool for the costume contest, which will be held at Blind Bob’s.
The route for the Santa Pub Crawl is as follows:
Dublin Pub – 5:00 – 6:30pm
Trolley Stop – 6:30 – 7:30 pm
Tumbleweed – 7:30 – 8:30 pm
Blind Bob’s – 8:30 – 10:00 pm (costume contest & Pics)
Oregon Express – 10:00 – 11:00 pm
Ned Peppers/Newcoms/Dublin Pub– late night dancing
Toys can be collected wherever the Marines are posted. Participants may join the pub crawl at any point in the night. Crown Plaza, located at 33 E. Fifth Street will have discounted rooms while they last for participants. Please call 937-224-0800 and ask for “Toys for Tots Santa Pub Crawl Rate” of $79.00. Be responsible: Don’t drink and drive.
