Although it may seem like we celebrated the turn of the year just yesterday, the annual Lowvelder Pub Crawl is once again gearing up to roll into town.

This year, on November 1, countless crawlers from the Lowveld and beyond will take to the pubs of Mbombela.

Make sure you diarise the date, choose your team, and prepare to dress ‘fancy’ – from tutus to tiaras, and anything in between.

Social media posts following the event will leave you with extreme ‘FOMO’ if you don’t suit up and join in the fun!

Participating pubs remain the same as last year, bar one new establishment. The Outpost Lapa has been added to the list of lekker spots to stop at during the pub crawl.

Marlin Pub and Grill, Bossa Nelspruit, Hennies Nelspruit, Little Loftus and Oppi Hoek are all on board once again and, as always, Mustangs – The Dancing Place will be the final destination for all crawlers.

While Mustangs is where you need to finish, you can decide where you would like your day to start, as well as in which order you will visit the participating pubs.

Individual and team participation will be catered for, and your team can have as many members as your heart desires, as long as each person attends with their official 2025 Lowvelder Pub Crawl map.

Mustangs will host a prize-giving at 18:00 to recognise the very best crawlers. All participants will have the chance to vote for their favourite pub of the day.

Votes will be cast at Mustangs when you hand in your Lowvelder Pub Crawl map, so you had best make sure to keep track of where you had the best time!

The best-dressed group/individual, best spirit, best pub and spot prize winners will be announced at the prize-giving.

To qualify, teams and individuals will have to submit their fully stamped maps. Stamp counts will be verified by a trusted Lowvelder team.

More information will follow on Lowvelder’s social media pages.
