Monroe Renaissance celebrates with pub crawl, fireworks

Monroe Renaissance is celebrating Independence Day with a bang by presenting its bi-monthly downtown pub-crawl on Saturday followed by the CenturyLink Star-Spangled Spectacular Fireworks Show.

Pub crawl participants check in at Bry Park, located at the corner of South Grand and DeSiard streets. They will receive their pub passport, which will have a map and list of the participating locations, along with drink specials at each location. After making each stop and getting their passport stamped, pub-crawlers will drop off their completed passport at the last stop — Restaurant Cotton — for the chance to win prizes.

Restaurant Cotton will be a great viewing spot for the Star-Spangled Spectacular Fireworks Show.

The Downtown Pub-Crawl is a free event and participants must be 21 years of age. Participants can also hop on the party bus for free transportation along the pub-crawl route. The participating locations are Enoch's Irish Pub, Shananigan's, Live Oaks, Neat, Restaurant Cotton and River & Rail Cantina. Local distributors — Marsala Beverage, Choice Brands and Glazer's — will be on hand at each location to showcase some products keeping in line with the Red, White and Brew theme.
