Participants will check in at the Venice Cafe (163 W. Erie St.) between 5 p.m. and 8 p.m. to pick up their bar crawl lanyards and passes, Kent Mardi Crawl t-shirts, and to participate in a fun costume contest. Participants will also get freebies at each stop - beads, masks and more! Visit as many bars as you wish throughout the night, and get your pass punched at each one (no purchase required); if you visit at least 5 of the 10 participating locations, drop your pass in the contest entry box at Water Street Tavern (132 S. Water St.) for a chance to win one of our great prizes! Drawing will be held on Mon., Feb. 12th. This is an all-weather event; no refunds. $15 per person. Proceeds will benefit Main Street Kent, with a portion designated to Freedom House, a transitional housing facility for homeless Veterans. This event is generously sponsored by Labatt and Magic Hat.
