July 28th Art Walk Special Events: MAFA and the Merchants of Old Town Monrovia with support from the city of Monrovia will bring you Monrovia’s first Pub Crawl from 5 PM to 10 PM. Attendees purchase a ticket (in advance at one of several locations or “day-of” – ticket price $35) which acts as a “passport” for spirit tastings at these featured restaurants on Myrtle Avenue.: London Gastro Pub, T. Philips, Rudy’s, Jake’s Roadhouse and Sena. At each tasting location, attendees have their passport punched and will be served a spirit tasting of the vendors choice. Part of the ticket price will be donated to MAFA to support art and art education in our community.
