Island Santa Bar Crawl ISBC

The Emerald Isle Parrot Head Club’s 8th annual Island Santa Bar Crawl will be held on Saturday, December 6, 2025. Proceeds from this event benefit Make a Wish of Eastern NC and make “wishes” come true for critically ill children in our local area. The EIPHC was recognized as a 2025 Wishmaker of the Year by Make a Wish ENC. The ISBC has raised in excess of $125,000 since it started in 2018.

We are very excited about this year’s event and hope that you will join us as we crawl into the holiday season. Here in Emerald Isle, our town motto is “Nice Matters” but truth be told there’s a lot of “crabbiness” in the world right now. We’re going to make it our mission to “Crawl it Off” and leave all the crabbiness behind!!

There are 7 PHANTASIC local stops for this year’s crawl. This year’s stops include: The Trading Post, Flipperz, The Thirsty Surfer, The Shark’s Den, Bar 1957, The Growler and Gaffer’s. The event will start at the EIPHC official home nest, THE E-CLUB and we will finish up the day’s events there as well. The Island Santa Bar Crawl will start at 1:00pm and will conclude at 5:00pm. There will be presentations for the event game winners and best costumes at THE ECLUB at the conclusion of the crawl. The party will continue with music, a photo booth and PHUN.

Online registration will be available at www.emeraldisleparrotheads.com until November 30, 2025. The cost of online registration is $20. On site registration will be available from 11:30am to 1:00pm on the day of the event and will cost $25. Event T-shirts will be pre-order only this year. T-shirts can be purchased under the “shop” tab along with registration. This year’s shirts will be long sleeved, “soft” t-shirts. This year’s theme “Feeling Crabby?? Crawl it Off!” will be on the back of the shirt with the ISBC logo on the front. Event T-Shirts will be $20.

Don’t miss out on the PHUN!! This event continues to grow every year and you will not want to miss it!! Additional details will be added as we get closer to the date of the event. SAVE THE DATE: December 6, 2025 from 1:00pm to 5:00pm and get registered online and purchase your event T-Shirt to avoid event day lines and the price increase.

Saturday is right around the corner and the Island Santa Bar Crawl is looking like our biggest event since we started.  We could not do this event without the support of so many in our Emerald Isle community.  We would like to start with Matt Morel and the EClub for always providing the EIPHC with our “Home Nest” for Phlockings and our start and finish point for EIPHC events.   Matt will provide a PHUN photo booth to help us capture our ISBC memories.  We would also like to acknowledge the EClub for collecting donations for MAW during their annual Christmas Parade Pig Picking. These donations raised $600 for MAW. Next, we would like to thank the 7 bar stops that we will visit along the way.  This year’s stops include: Surf’s Up, The Trading Post, Flipperz, Shark’s Den, The Growler, Bar 1957 and 77 West.  Paul Musco and 77 West will be providing our event shuttle. Please be sure to tip your driver!!

Our raffle items are PHantastic!!  We appreciate all of the donations that we have received.  Raffle tickets will be 2 for $10 or 5 for $20 and will be sold on Friday night at the Phlocking and on Saturday during the crawl.    We have the following raffle items: A sterling silver EI Destination Bracelet, a New to You 3-wheel Bike, a Dine the Coast gift card basket, a Family Fun gift card basket, a Handmade Santa Figurine, a 24×36 Surfboard Photo Canvas, a Mermaid Garden Statue, a Chip Shackelford -Artist Gift Basket, a Crab Pot Christmas Tree and Art Lessons from area artist Irene Bailey. Check out our raffle table at the Phlocking and on the day of the event. Thank you to everyone who donated items.  Individuals and businesses will be acknowledged at the raffle tables.

Don’t forget to join us on Friday night for the monthly EIPHC Phlocking.  We will meet at EClub from 700pm to 900pm. Come in your best Christmas PJs or Ugly Sweaters and enjoy free Phood, Phun and Phellowship provided by Matt Morel.  Same day registration will be at the EClub on Saturday from 1130am to 100pm.  The ISBC will start and end at the EClub and there will be lots of fun at the “afterparty”, including our costume winner announcement, game winners and raffle drawings.

We look forward to seeing everyone this weekend and we thank you for helping us “Party with a Purpose” to raise money for Make a Wish of ENC.
