Mount Prospect Downtown Merchants Association to Host Pub Crawl Sept. 17

The Mount Prospect Downtown Merchants Association (MPDMA) is hosting the Summer Slide Pub Crawl on Saturday, September 17, 2016.

"Pub crawls continue to be hugely successful events for our downtown organization," said David Rinkenberger, of Chase Bank and chair of the Pub Crawl Committee. "We look forward to seeing our old friends and new neighbors at downtown, local businesses. This event reinforces the mission of our organization of 'bringing public awareness to Mount Prospect's downtown area by providing family-oriented, pedestrian friendly events.'"

This year's Summer Slide Pub Crawl is packed with Mount Prospect favorites like Bar 145, Crave Sports Bar, Emerson's Ale House, Le Peep Café and Pub, Mia's Cantina, Mrs. P & Me, Sam's Place and Tokens & Tankards.

Registration is $10 and includes a pub crawl t-shirt. Registration for the event is available at www.downtownmountprospect.com. The registration deadline is September 9th (to receive t-shirt).

Check-in will begin at 2:30 p.m. at the Village Green on the northwest corner of Emerson Street and Busse Avenue. Parking for the event is available in the Village Hall Parking Garage located at 50 S. Emerson Street and plenty of additional parking is located throughout downtown Mount Prospect. Downtown Mount Prospect is also conveniently located along the Metra Union Pacific Northwest Line. For fares and schedules, visit metrarail.com.

The Pub Crawl officially begins at 3:00 p.m. Participants must visit each location and have their tickets punched in order to complete the "crawl" and to be eligible for the raffle. A Pub Crawl representative will be present at each location at 6:30 p.m. to collect completed raffle tickets from participants to ensure they are entered in the raffle. The raffle will be held at the Village Hall Parking Garage (50 S. Emerson St.) at 7:00 p.m. Winners need not be present to win.
