Ellensburg Historic Pub Crawl

October 22, 2026, 5 PM - 8 PM

The Kittitas County Historical Museum (KCHM) is excited to announce its all-new Summer Ellensburg Historic Pub Crawl event!
 
Join us on October 22nd from 5pm to 8pm, as we share Ellensburg’s interesting, colorful, and often mysterious past in a fun and entertaining way. With a night full of saloons and salacious stories, this event is great for both those new to Ellensburg and long-time residents. The Ellensburg Historic Pub Crawl makes a memorable date night, team building event, or a night on the town.
 
𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐬 𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐅𝐀𝐒𝐓 – 𝐬𝐨 𝐛𝐞 𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐭𝐬 𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐲!!

Tickets will be on sale this Fall. Museum members have received advance notification of the ticket drop.

  • The event starts at our Museum where you will meet local historians who will take you through four (4) of Ellensburg’s downtown establishments, with each featuring a bite to eat and an alcoholic libation to drink, lively narratives, side splitting stories, and juicy tidbits that our pioneers didn’t want you to hear! The event will conclude back at the Museum with a shot of delicious alcohol crafted by a local distillery. It will be paired with a locally-made treat created just for the evening’s event.
  • The event kicks off at 5:00pm. The Pub Crawl will end around 8:00 p.m. This event involves some walking and standing outdoors, so please plan and dress accordingly.
  • This event will sell out early with 𝐨𝐧𝐥𝐲 𝟒𝟎 𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐭𝐬 available. Cost is $75 per person. Must be 21-or-older to attend.
  • The food provided by local restaurants/establishments is determined ahead of time by each location, and we are unable to make special accommodations for attendees.

*** If you plan to attend with another group, please let us know their names so we can do our best to keep you in the same group. Groups are limited to 10 per group and are arranged before the event. There will be no changes to groups on the day of the event. ***
