Dress festive. Santa gear is the standard, though any holiday character fits the crawl. Check the Santa Cruz forecast before you head out; a layer you can remove helps when you move 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 is a costumed holiday pub crawl, and the Santa Cruz edition follows that format. It is a holiday party, so picture a social crowd in costume rather than a sit-down dinner or a quiet evening out. Treat this page as a starting point and the event page as the source for the particulars. Going with friends makes it easier, since the night is more fun in a group.

Plan on a 21+ crowd, since the legal drinking age in California is 21. If your group includes anyone under 21, check the event page before you plan around them. A phone photo of an ID may not be accepted at the door, so bring the physical card. Keep it in a secure pocket so it does not get lost in a crowd.

Ticket links and pricing, if available, are on the Santa Cruz SantaCon event page; this page does not confirm availability or prices. Prices can change as the date gets closer, so compare what you see on the day you buy. Do not share your confirmation code publicly. Compare any bundle options only after confirming the date matches your plans.
