Reunite with young alumni during Homecoming weekend for the first-ever BeAR Crawl on Saturday, October 21. 

The crawl will visit several local bars, each with their own distinct atmosphere. 

Attendees can experience live music, play a variety of indoor and outdoor games, hit the dancefloor and enjoy an array of beverages from award-winning local brews to one-of-a-kind cocktails.

For $10, young alumni and friends will receive a drink ticket at Springfield Brewing Co. and a 15% discount at remaining participating locations (exceptions may apply).

The event will kick off with an Alumni Chapter mixer at Springfield Brewing Co. at 7 p.m. where participants will receive a limited-edition, light-up bracelet and have the opportunity to meet with members of their local alumni chapter, affinity and/or constituency groups. 

Other stops along the BeAR Crawl route include:

• Inner Circle Vodka Bar
• Mud Lounge 
• Best of Luck Beer Hall
• 417 Taphouse
• Shot Shack

As the event approaches, anticipate additional BeAR Crawl locations with the possibility of changes. BeAR Crawl route and information will be provided at the kick-off mixer.

The event encourages young alumni who have graduated in the last ten years to reunite and make new Homecoming memories that are sure to last.
