Fat Saturday 2012
Saturday, February 18, 2012, 4:00 pm
The 2nd Annual Fat Saturday Pub Crawl will be held on Saturday February 18th in downtown Augusta. Registration will be held that day starting at 4pm. The first 500 individuals to register will receive a free t-shirt!

The Pub Crawl costs $10 and all proceeds go directly to the Greater Augusta Arts Council. When you register you will receive a “Pub Crawl Passport” which you can get stamped at each of the participating bars. Once you have visited all the bars and received all of your stamps you drop the passport in a registration box (located in all participating bars) and will qualify for tons of fun prizes!

This year we will be also offering a Trolley Pass for $5.Trolley Passes will allow you to ride (and drink!) on the fun Mardi Gras themed Trolley! The trolley will visit each pub crawl stop and will feature Matt Stone as the MC. We will also be giving out fun prizes to those who ride the trolley! Much thanks to our amazing Trolley Sponsors: Knology and Metro Spirit!
