The Schedule

Day of the Dead Face Painting

Carrburritos (Davidson) · Stop by Carrburritos for free Day of the Dead face painting, open to kids and adults alike. Pick anything from a playful cat whisker to a full sugar-skull design while you're in line for tacos and burritos. It's a colorful, family-friendly way to kick off your night on the Crawl Back route — and a great excuse to get your costume photo-ready early.

Pumpkin Carving + Specialty Flavor

Whit's Frozen Custard · Grab a pumpkin and get carving at Whit's Frozen Custard, then reward yourself with a specialty flavor made just for the Crawl Back. It's a hands-on, walk-up-window stop that's easy for the whole family to enjoy between everything else happening down South Main. Come hungry, and stay for a scoop of their small-batch custard, sundaes, or shakes.

Ghost Stories Tour

Knotty & Board Interiors · Settle in at Knotty & Board for fireside history and haunts, told in the spirit of a Spooky Victorian evening. Expect atmospheric storytelling woven around Davidson's local past, tucked in among the shop's curated home décor and gifts. It's a quieter, moodier pause on the route for anyone who likes their Halloween with a little more mystery than mayhem.

Mediterranean Happy Hour

Habibi Lebanon Bar & Grill · Duck into Habibi Lebanon Bar & Grill for a Crawl Back special on Lebanese bites and drinks, served up in a warm, family-run space. It's a flavorful detour from the costumes and crowds outside — a good spot to slow down, share a plate, and refuel with authentic Mediterranean cooking. A welcome stop whether you're starting your crawl here or just passing through.

BBQ & Brews Special

The Crazy Pig · The Crazy Pig brings the smoke with a Crawl Back special on BBQ plates and craft beer, the kind of hearty stop that fuels a long night on South Main. Pull up a seat at the taphouse, watch the crawl roll by outside, and dig into smoked meats done right. A satisfying, no-fuss stop for anyone who's more about barbecue than costumes.

Wine & Charcuterie Tasting

Table & Board · Slow down at Table & Board, the charcuterie and wine market tucked inside the historic Ice House building, for a Crawl Back tasting of curated wines paired with grazing boards. It's an elegant, unhurried counterpoint to the rest of the night's costumes and crowds — a chance to sip something interesting and share a board with friends. A favorite stop for anyone craving a little quiet indulgence mid-crawl.

Halloween Ball

Fontana Di Vino · Cap off the Crawl Back at Fontana Di Vino's Halloween Ball, the night's finale with a DJ, dancing, and costumes on full display at this contemporary Italian wine bar. Local lore has it Davidson's own Gray Man ghost still lingers nearby — fitting company for the last stop on South Main. It's the place to let the whole night's energy peak before the crawl winds down.
