How Many People Do the LIABP Bar Crawl Each Night? (2026 Attendance Guide)

October 19, 2025

If you’ve heard about the LIABP Bar Crawl, you’ve probably heard one thing over and over:
“It’s HUGE.”
And that’s not an exaggeration — this is the biggest nightly event in Ios, drawing hundreds of travellers every single night.

Here’s exactly how many people you can expect in 2026.


The Short Answer: 100–150 People Every Night

Yes, every night.

Even on quieter weeks (May, early June, early September), the bar crawl still brings 100–150 people.

During peak season, though?

June–August: 300–400 people per night

Peak date record nights hit 500+.

This means two things:

  2. You’ll meet people from all over the world in one night.


Why the Crowd Is So Big

The LIABP Bar Crawl dominates Ios nightlife because:

1. It’s the official pre-party event

If you want to go out in Ios, this is your easiest way to meet everyone.

2. It has the best starting point

Nio Fusion is the island’s hottest pre-game venue.
