Zombie Pub Crawl: The West Bank

Things have changed greatly over time for the Zombie Pub Crawl, which is now in its eighth year. What started as a modest-sized crawl through northeast Minneapolis is now an epic, all-day binge fest drawing in over 10,000 undead to two cities. Bars, nightclubs, and restaurants along Minneapolis's West Bank will welcome zombies who are 21+ for drink specials (keep an eye out for limited-edition cans of "Brain Belt" from Grain Belt), special performances, and sidewalk shenanigans. Be prepared for big crowds and lines, but part of the event's charm is meeting new friends while waiting for that pint or bathroom stall. The big stage act of the night for this part of town is the Gin Blossoms at the Cabooze, but other bars will be offering live music as well. If bar crowds get to be too much inside, there are usually a few good food trucks, outdoor grilling, and beer specials to be had in open parking lots, sidewalks, and patios. Meanwhile, over at St. Paul's Midway Stadium, there's Zombie Island. This all-ages zombie party will feature a variety of activities in one convenient place. Amenities for the undead include free carnival rides, fireworks at dusk, and a live performance from DMX. There's also a possibility that Phil, a 50-foot inflatable zombie, will be hanging out. Attendance on the Island should peak at around 8 p.m., when the festival attempts to break a Guinness World Record for Largest Gathering of Zombies. The current record is 4,093, so we should have this one in the bag. Want to attend both parties? No worries; there will be a shuttle for those old enough to drink.
