Traveling for the night? Plan lodging and a way home first. If you are driving, look at parking and rideshare options near the start point.

Wear a Santa suit or another holiday costume; red, green and white outfits, elf looks and reindeer gear all fit the theme. Expect cold in Boulder in December. Layers matter, and you may spend time outdoors between bars. Skip costume pieces that are hard to carry or that block other guests. Test the outfit at home so you know it stays put.

SantaCon Boulder is a holiday bar crawl where guests dress as Santa, elves or other festive characters and move from bar to bar. It runs casual and social, with plenty of photo-worthy costumes in every bar you step into. We have not listed bar names or perks here because they are not confirmed in our data.

Anyone planning to drink should be 21 or older with a valid photo ID, and the event may apply its own limits. Rules can differ by venue, so check the event page for anything specific to Boulder. Never drive after drinking; plan a ride before you go. Do not lend your ID to anyone, since it will not work for them.
