Cinco De Mayo Pub Crawl occurring this weekend

YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) - The First Cinco De Mayo Pub Crawl occurred in Downtown Yuma this weekend.

The event started at 4:00pm Saturday at Prison Hill, and went all the way till Jimmie Dees, with stops at bars along Main Street, like The Pint House Bar & Grill.

Chris Wheeler, owner of Prison Hill Brewery, shares one reason the City of Yuma benefits from pub crawls.

"These pub crawls are a fantastic way to showcase downtown, with Historic Yuma Downtown Area, shops, the retail, all the various businesses that we have, that are really thriving down [in Yuma], and it's a good way to get people down here to see what Yuma has to offer."

Other bars participating in the pub crawl are Lutes Casino, Red's Birdcage Saloon, The Alement and Eduardo's.

The first 150 pub crawlers who completed the crawl received the First Annual Pub Crawl T-Shirt once they've reached Jimmie Dees.
