Portland, Oregon’s first-ever <a href="https://peeweepubcrawl.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Pee-wee Pub Crawl</a>, on Saturday, September 26th, 2026, celebrates all things in the Pee-wee Herman/Paul Reubens Universe, but is timed to coincide with&nbsp; the 40th anniversary of the television debut of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pee-wee%27s_Playhouse" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Pee-wee’s Playhouse</a>, in September 1986, on CBS, where it ran for four glorious years.

The <a href="https://peeweepubcrawl.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Pee-wee Pub Crawl</a> will take place in the Clinton/Division neighborhood of Southeast Portland, from 3-9pm, on Saturday, September 26th.&nbsp;

Advance tickets are required. Get your tickets now at <a href="https://peeweepubcrawl.com/tickets" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://peeweepubcrawl.com/tickets</a>!

Attendees are encouraged to come in costume - anything from a simple red bow tie, to full regalia, as their favorite Pee-wee Herman Universe character, from <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tw1iEmHM28U" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Large Marge</a> to <a href="https://peewee.fandom.com/wiki/Chairry" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Chairry</a>!

There will be Pee-wee Universe <a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DccG35ZuO1h/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">costume contests</a>, Pee-wee look-alike (“I know you are, but what am I?”) and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dXH1YTktPoM" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">laugh-alike contests</a>, a Pee-wee’s Playhouse trivia competition, a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UVKsd8z6scw" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">‘Tequila’ dance-off</a>, and a cat scavenger hunt!

Cat scavenger hunt?!&nbsp; The Pee-wee Pub Crawl is a benefit for PDX Cat Trapper. PDX Cat Trapper is a grassroots, 100% volunteer-driven feral cat rescue group.&nbsp;

Not so fun fact: A single unaltered cat and all her offspring having a litter of 4 each over a 10-year period, results in a startling 1,398,101 cats.&nbsp;

PDX Cat Trapper is interrupting the alarming feral cat reproductive cycle and humanely supports our area’s community cats.

PDX Cat Trapper practices ‘trap-neuter-return,’ and are responsible for hundreds, if not thousands, of community cats getting fixed every year. They also organize cat colony medical care and feeding services through their all-volunteer grassroots outreach program.

PDX Cat Trapper is a registered 501(c)(3) charity, and will receive 75% of the proceeds from ticket sales to the PWPC, as well as cash donations collected from the public via donation jars at the participating bars. .&nbsp;

PDX Cat Trapper was chosen not only because the organizers of the Pee-wee Pub Crawl are all great cat lovers, but so was Pee-wee Herman!

Paul Reubens was a lifelong animal lover, most especially, of cats.&nbsp;

When he passed away, he was <a href="https://www.facebook.com/kittenxlady/videos/meet-sam-/1703569717091474/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">the loving cat dad of an untouchable feral</a>, Samantha Reuben-Tenderheart, whom he rescued and for whom he built a large catio, when she made it clear she was not to be an indoor cat.&nbsp;

Samantha now lives with one of his best friends, who just happens to be the internet’s famous <a href="https://www.facebook.com/kittenxlady" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">The Kitten Lady</a>!

There will be <a href="https://www.pdxcattrapper.org/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">PDX Cat Trapper</a> cash donation jars stationed at each of our bar stops and the public at large will be encouraged to donate to this very worthy cause.&nbsp;

The Pee-wee Pub Crawl will be a fun way to spend a Saturday afternoon reconnecting with one of your old Saturday morning favorites, while connecting with other local Pee-wee Herman fans and cat lovers, alike!&nbsp;

Pee-wee Pub Crawl participating bars will create their own Pee-wee Herman inspired drink and food specials. Large Marge-aritas and Ice Cream Soup, anyone?&nbsp;

The Pee-wee Pub Crawl is the brainchild of the <a href="https://www.instagram.com/paulreubenspacificnorthwest/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Paul Reubens Pacific Northwest fan club</a> founder, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/meredith.walter.16" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Meredith Walter</a>, and is being organized and led by <a href="https://www.facebook.com/djmeowpdx/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Jen Lane</a>, of Portland’s beloved BarFly Magazine and BarFly Bar Tours.&nbsp;

<a href="https://www.wweek.com/bars/2020/07/28/so-long-barfly-and-thanks-for-all-the-booze/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">BarFly</a> conducted dozens of pub crawls for hundreds of guests, every year during its 20 years in the Portland scene (BarFly quickly succumbed to COVID, and ceased operations in 2020). The <a href="https://peeweepubcrawl.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Pee-wee Pub Crawl</a> will be a chance to recreate, and perhaps even remember, the BarFly Tour experience

The <a href="https://peeweepubcrawl.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Pee-wee Pub Craw</a>l will be held on Saturday, September 26th, 2026, from 3-9pm. All of the bars will be in the Division/Clinton neighborhood.&nbsp;

Participants will be traveling between stops on foot or non-motorized wheels (no driving, please!).&nbsp;

This will be a 21 and up, only, event.&nbsp;

Advance tickets are required, and are available for purchase at <a href="https://peeweepubcrawl.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://peeweepubcrawl.com/</a>. 75% of proceeds from ticket sales will be donated to <a href="https://www.pdxcattrapper.org/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">PDX Cat Trapper</a>.&nbsp;
