Dear Crawlers,

It breaks our hearts to write this, but given the current situation with COVID-19, we are postponing the 20th Annual St. Patrick’s Day Pub Crawl until March 13, 2021. We have talked for the past decade plus how incredible it would be to reach the milestone year of twenty, so it’s devastating to our small business not to meet that goal…yet! We will just have to wait another year to celebrate together! We are determined to pack two years of fun into one glorious, unforgettable day when we are back, and hopefully in a better place than we are today.

For those of you who already purchased your pub crawl t-shirt, that is the shirt/ticket for the 2021 date, and you need to do nothing. We will not be printing a new shirt, as next year will still be the 20th Annual Crawl! We cannot thank those of you enough who had planned on crawling with us, and hope you plan on joining us in March. Please stay safe, positive, and know we absolutely cannot wait to toast with you again.

With So Much Love,

Rich and Bennett

Coronavirus Update (3/12/20):



Following the rapid evolution of the COVID-19 situation, our team has made the decision to reschedule this year’s 20th Annual St. Patrick’s Day Pub Crawl. We have concluded that hosting this year’s event at this time poses an undeniable risk to the public and we’re not willing to take that risk.

We appreciate the community’s patience while we have held ongoing discussions with our partners, sponsors, vendors, health officials and CMPD regarding this difficult decision. This is certainly a first for our team and has been an emotional ride.

At this time, Rich & Bennett’s 20th Annual St. Patrick’s Day Pub Crawl will be rescheduled for June 27. Tonight and tomorrow’s prepay events at Whisky River are postponed and we will announce those rescheduled dates in the coming weeks. If you are unable to join us on June 27 and would like a refund, please email info@richandbennett.com by 5:00pm on Friday, March 13. Please be patient with us as we work through numerous requests and messages.

We will continue to post updates to our website and social media channels in light of this developing situation. Thank you again to our crawlers, vendors, partners, charities, family and friends for your support ahead of this year’s planned event. Twenty years ago, we set out to have a good time with friends. We never expected to face such a grueling decision. We have always put safety first when planning this event and this year is no exception. We look forward to crawling with you in the future!

Coronavirus Update (3/10/20):



As we approach our 20th Annual St. Patrick’s Day Pub Crawl, we are continuing to monitor the possible impact COVID-19 could have on Saturday’s event to ensure the safety of event attendees and our community. We have been in touch with local medical staff and CMPD regarding the situation. Following Governor Cooper’s press conference this afternoon, we feel that this Saturday’s event should be able to go on as planned. As Governor Cooper stated, “We are not making recommendations of canceling mass gatherings.” Additionally, there are no confirmed cases in Mecklenburg County at this time.

We are requesting those planning to attend our crawl to take all reasonable and preventative measures possible. First and foremost, please do not attend this event if you feel sick or are showing cold or flu-like symptoms. You will have the opportunity to crawl again with us in 2021. We advise anyone who has traveled to any areas highlighted under the CDC’s Travel Health Notice to not attend this event. This applies if you fall in a high-risk group as well. These groups include those over the age of 65 or those that have chronic medical conditions. We also ask anyone attending the event to practice proper personal hygiene according to CDC and health department recommendations, including washing hands often with soap and water, avoiding touching your face and refraining from hand-shaking.

Ahead of Saturday’s festivities, we have requested additional hand washing and sanitizing stations at our check-in lot and have been in touch with all participating bars and restaurants to encourage an increase in existing sanitization and maintenance efforts.

If you can no longer attend the crawl, you can receive a refund at any point before Friday, March 13 at 5 p.m. To inquire about a refund, please send an email to info@richandbennett.com. Should the status of the event change at any point in time, we will update all social media channels as well as our website. Thank you in advance for your understanding as we continue to navigate this evolving situation.
